Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer With Your Local Board
The Northern Rhode Island Board of REALTORS® thrives because of members who generously contribute their time and talents to strengthen both our profession and our communities. By getting involved, you’ll expand your network, stay informed, and make a positive impact while upholding the highest standards of ethical, expert service for your clients.
All volunteers must be members in good standing, committed to serving all NRIBR members, and agree to follow the Board’s Bylaws, Policies, and Volunteer Code of Conduct. Submissions will be reviewed by the Board’s leadership, and applicants will be notified by mid-December. Selected volunteers will then complete an Agreement to Serve form.
Review the short descriptions of each committee and task force below, and submit your choices using the Interest Form. A member of the staff or Board will follow up with additional details.
