The Central Florida Commercial Association of REALTORS® (CFCAR) is a stand-alone commercial overlay board. Our charter from the National Association of REALTORS® is to focus on COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE ONLY. We deliver a broad array of resources to help members provide the best service to their clients, and to be the best in their field.

Joining the leadership of CFCAR is a powerful statement. You will become part of a group that will help develop the organization's growth and value to members. Below are the position overviews of the board and the committees that feed into our board. All are imperative to the community's success.

Directors at Large for CFCAR Board of Directors

Directors at Large shall represent the association's interests within areas of strategic planning, guidance and fiscal responsibility. They are to perform such duties as are customary for a position of at-large member or as may be assigned or delegated by the Executive Committee. The position is to focus on the support of membership growth through value development. They will act as liaison with chairs of committees to ensure quality leadership communication.

Directors should be nominated in early August each year. The slate shall be approved by the Executive Committee. Director at Large positions are for a term of 2 years commencing January 1. Board members may be Primary, Secondary, Institute Affiliate or Alliance Members. Only Primary or Secondary REALTOR® members can become officers of the board and/or President.

Committees

Committees help to organize some of the most important work of CFCAR — considering, shaping, and guiding ideas and options to support membership value, education and programs. A committee is a body of members that works in close contact with the board of directors. Usually, the board sends matters to a committee as a way to explore them more fully than would be possible if the board itself were considering them. This is an important stepping stone to board membership.
