AEC/RCE Certification Advisory Board Goals
Goal #1
Increase the number of candidates applying for the designation to ensure greater professionalism amongst the ranks of REALTOR® association executives.
UPDATE: To increase awareness of the RCE designation, automatic email communications are sent to AEs who successfully complete any of the NAR self-study courses. The RCE program is also promoted at the AE Institute, the REALTORS® Legislative Meeting, the Leadership Summit, and the NAR NXT.
Goal #2
Ensure that REALTOR® association volunteer leaders are aware of the RCE designation and know that it raises the bar of professionalism and provides greater value to the association’s members and the community.
UPDATE: The RCE Leadership Luncheon, which is held at both the REALTORS® Legislative Meeting and the NAR NXT, is an opportunity to raise awareness of the RCE designation amongst volunteer leaders. AEs are encouraged to attend with their volunteer leaders.
Goal #3
Develop and maintain all RCE policies and procedures; grade Section VI of the Applicant Data Form (ADF).
UPDATE: The RCE Certification Advisory Board will conduct its annual review of the RCE policies and procedures at their 2024 NAR NXT meeting.
Goal #4
Continue to offer an RCE Virtual Study Group, facilitated by NAR subject matter experts, along with RCE candidates, and monitored by RCE Certification Advisory Board members, to help prepare candidates for the RCE exam.
UPDATE: RCE Virtual Study Group sessions were offered for the Spring RCE exams and 22 candidates participated; for the Fall exam, the recorded Spring sessions were offered to all candidates at no cost and candidates organized their own virtual study group sessions with 27 participants.
