NAR to sunset governance groups as part of committee overhaul

"These member-led updates are grounded in what we've heard from our members, said 2026 NAR President Kevin Brown. Realtors have been clear that our governance system must evolve, becoming more focused, more effective and more responsive."

"Findings showed declining confidence in committee effectiveness, overlapping responsibilities across groups and opportunities to better utilize member and staff time. As a result, NAR leadership approved a series of targeted sunset recommendations."

"Changes are expected to reduce structural redundancy, decrease appointment volume and redirect member and staff resources toward committees and engagement opportunities that deliver the greatest strategic value."

The National Association of Realtors has approved initial governance changes to streamline its committee structure and reduce duplication. These updates are part of a broader modernization effort, responding to member feedback for a more effective governance system. A review revealed declining confidence in committee effectiveness and overlapping responsibilities. Consequently, NAR will sunset several committees and advisory groups to eliminate redundancy and better allocate resources. This data-driven approach aims to enhance strategic value and improve member engagement opportunities.
