Membership Notice to Amend ACAR Bylaws

By Kelli Moss posted 05-29-2020 12:30:45 PM

  

On May 28th, ACAR’s Board of Directors voted unanimously to change ACAR’s Bylaws to add Portage County to its jurisdiction. 

The power to amend ACAR’s Bylaws rests with its membership.  On Monday, June 15, 2020, all primary and secondary REALTOR® members will receive an electronic ballot with the change as written below.  Voting will conclude at end of business on Monday, June 22, 2020, or when at least 5% of the membership has voted.

ARTICLE III – JURISDICTION Section 1.  Jurisdiction   The territorial jurisdiction of ACAR as a Member of the NAR is all of Cuyahoga, Summit AND PORTAGE Counties.

Rationale for change:  On April 15th the Portage County Association of REALTORS® dissolved.  This dissolution resulted in Portage County, Ohio being an unassigned territory at the National Association of REALTORS®.  Because 181 former Portage County REALTORS® joined ACAR, Directors wholeheartedly approved expanding our jurisdiction so that we may also serve Portage County through advocacy and consumer outreach—two areas of service defined by jurisdictional territory, not REALTOR® membership.  If ACAR membership approves this change, ACAR must apply to the National Association of REALTORS for a change in jurisdiction.  Final decision will be made by NAR.
