ShareWASHINGTON, D.C. (May 11, 2023)—NAR’s board of directors has approved recommendations requiring board members to complete:
- At Home With Diversity, a course to help real estate professionals work successfully in an increasingly diverse marketplace
- Bias Override: Overcoming Barriers to Fair Housing, a course to help real estate professionals identify and interrupt stereotypical thinking to avoid fair housing pitfalls
- Fairhaven, an online fair housing simulation
The requirements are phased in:
- Directors serving in 2024 will be required to complete the three programs as a performance expectation by May 1, 2024.
- Beginning with the 2025 board, completion of the programs will be a qualification for serving as a director.
The recommendations came from the Diversity Committee with the support of the Leadership Identification and Development Committee.
