The Real Estate Council of San Antonio is the advocate for owners and
professionals in the real estate industry, influencing action and supporting
efforts to ensure a healthy economy and enhanced quality of life in the San
Antonio area.
Established in 1991, the Council was formed to provide its members with vision,
leadership and initiative in the ever-changing real estate market and economic
climate. The Council currently has 260 member firms with approximately 850
individuals participating as members.
There are three levels of membership: Patron, Corporate and Individual. As a
locally-based organization, all membership dues go toward issues, initiatives
and programs that impact the real estate development industry in San Antonio.
At each level, one can benefit from a wide range of services and opportunities
for participation:
* Membership Meetings
Regular programs (often members only)
which focus on industry-related topics as well as those impacting the San
Antonio area and its economy.
* Council Monitor
Bi-monthly newsletter reporting on
important issues affecting the industry, announcing upcoming events and
reviewing Council activities.
* Council Alert
Periodic requests for specific action by Council members on critical
issues.
* Committee Participation
Volunteers are the lifeblood of the
organization. Members are given the opportunity to participate in the standing
committees: Program, Membership, Community Relations, Government Affairs,
Communications, Education and Leadership Development.
* Leadership Development Program
This program is designed for up to 25
high-potential, real estate industry applicants. The goal of the program is
two-fold: (1) to provide a concentrated exposure to San Antonio real estate,
politics and the people and events that shape or affect the industry; and (2)
developing the leadership skills and potential of individuals whom we expect to
include our industry’s and the community’s future leaders. As with other
leadership programs, there also is the side benefit of an extended networking
forum for the participants.
* MCE Credit Opportunities
The Real Estate Council is a licensed
provider of MCE courses. The Education Committee strives to have 15 hours of
meetings every two years in order to satisfy current requirements. The
Committee also works to have programs certified for CLE credit.
