Application for Elected Office

Maryland REALTORS® Bylaws provide for appointment of a Credentials Committee.

These candidates were determined by the Credentials Committee to be eligible for the office for which they applied. The goal is to create an environment where all motivated members are encouraged to pursue leadership positions; this streamlined process accomplishes this.

The state association Board of Directors also established policies that explain the Credentials Committee process as well as the timeline, criteria, and campaign rules. These guidelines will help the committee uniformly and consistently review applications, to determine whether candidates are qualified to serve in their desired elected positions.

Applications for elective office for 2025 have passed.
