Find Your Place to Make an Impact

09/21/2026

You don’t have to hold a leadership title to make a difference in your profession.

Sometimes, leadership starts by raising your hand, sharing your perspective, and getting involved. This October, ABoR members will have the opportunity to do just that when the annual Volunteer Call opens Oct. 5.  
 
From Oct. 5 through Nov. 6, you can apply to serve on an ABoR committee and help shape the programs, policies, and initiatives that matter to our members and our industry. Whether you’re looking to expand your network, develop new leadership skills, or contribute your expertise, there’s more than one way to get involved.

Find the Right Fit

With volunteer groups spanning a wide range of interests, finding the right fit is easy. You might be passionate about advocacy and public policy, interested in supporting our community through the ABoR Foundation, or eager to connect with other professionals through groups like the Young Professional Network.  
 
You can also explore opportunities related to global real estate, diversity and inclusion, finance, MLS operations, industry awards, and more. Each group brings a different perspective and plays an important role in strengthening ABoR and Unlock MLS.  
 
Turn Involvement Into Opportunity

Volunteering is more than another item on your calendar. It’s an opportunity to learn from other REALTORS®, build relationships across our industry, and gain experience that can strengthen your career.

When you get involved, you bring your own experiences and ideas to the table – and you gain a closer look at the conversations and decisions shaping our profession. Whether you’re a longtime member or looking for your first chance to get involved, your perspective has value.

Make Your Move on Oct. 5

Volunteer Call only happens once a year, so start thinking now about where your interests and experiences could make the biggest impact. If you want to get a head start, visit www.unlockmls.com/volunteer today to learn more and explore all of the different committees.  
 
Beginning Oct. 5, visit your ABoR Member Portal to explore available volunteer groups, review their responsibilities and qualifications, and submit your application. Opportunities and eligibility may vary by member, and some groups have additional requirements, so be sure to review the details before applying.

Your involvement can help shape the future of ABoR, Unlock MLS, and the Central Texas real estate industry. I encourage you to find a group that speaks to you, raise your hand, and get involved.
