Your participation is vital to the success of DERA and our efforts to promote and strengthen the real estate industry and give something back to our communities. Please take a few minutes to read the committee descriptions and if you have an interest in one or more of these areas, let us know. Some of the projects are done on a task force basis and may require only limited time. Others may be more ongoing, but we promise not to waste your time with unproductive meetings. We are excited about the direction your association is heading and want you to be a part of the building process. As always, your suggestions and comments are welcome. Contact DERA to become involved.
