With only 3 voting for the motion, the Southeast Valley Regional Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors (SEVRAR BOD) voted not to accept the counter offer from the Arizona Association of REALTORS®. The Western Maricopa Association of REALTORS® (WeMAR) had voted earlier to possibly accepting the counter offer depending on What SEVRAR voted to do. As this was explained in our meeting, whatever SEVRAR did, WeMAR would do.
The SEVRAR BOD vote was strong evidence that the members of SEVRAR had their voices heard by the SEVRAR Board of Directors. Because members asked and were given another opportunity to be heard, 95 plus attendees at a Town Hall meeting of sorts shared their concerns with the majority of members asking the BOD to vote no. Because of this voice, the BOD took another look at what taking action in either way would do to, or for, their members. After careful consideration, several members of the BOD changed their votes and the result was as reported above.
I would encourage you all once again to stay involved as you did on this issue. Stay informed by attending the association meetings. This will not be the last big issue discussed this year and I for one love to have your input.
Thanks again for being a part of SEVRAR and having the desire to be involved and take action as you see fit.
