LCAR

We Want You

Lisa Naples • October 7, 2021

We do. We want you to volunteer with LCAR. We are a member-driven organization, so we want your input to help us be the best we can be. We want your voice, your feedback, your opinions and your input. The best way to get the most out of your membership with LCAR is to volunteer on a committee. This is not a big commitment. Most committees meet one time a month, some are less frequent, and some require more meetings. You’ll get the hang of it.



When you join a committee at LCAR, you will get more out of it than you put into it, always. You get to know your colleagues from any and every brokerage better, not just your own. You build relationships and friendships. You will get an insider look at the real estate industry with information about important topics that will affect your business. You will get to know what LCAR does for you, and you will be able to make a difference in what LCAR will do moving forward.


There are 10 committees looking for members in 2022. You can request to be on one or more specific committees, or you can live on the edge and indicate that you have no particular preference. Take a look at the descriptions of each committee and see where you would like to spend your time.


The Member Engagement & Communications Committee is in the process of revamping LCAR’s social media presence. You can contribute to this committee without having to write articles like this one. You can create videos, take photos and use your imagination to create social media content.


Interested in the role our PAC plays in local, state and national policy and politics? You may want to join the Government Affairs Committee. You’ll get up close and personal with your current local representatives and candidates. At best, it is reassuring to get to know these politicians, at worst it is eye-opening. Totally worth the time, which is one meeting per month with the exception of candidate interviews.


Did you enjoy the recent TLC fundraiser at Clipper Magazine Stadium? That event raised a record-breaking amount this year to benefit Transitional Living Center and was completely organized by the Community Partnerships Committee. They did an outstanding job and could always benefit from having new members on the committee with a fresh perspective.


LCAR is your organization. Sign up for a committee and get involved . . . you’ll be glad that you did.

Please sign up by October 22, 2021. Click here for the sign-up form and committee descriptions.
