Governance Structure

Missouri REALTORS® adopted this governance structure in 2027 to better align committees and leadership roles with the association’s mission. This structure is designed to increase member value and provide a responsive framework that can adapt to today’s fast‑moving real estate industry. This governance model ensures that all members have the opportunity to participate and have their voices heard.
