The goal of the Town Liaison Program is to increase member involvement in association government affairs programs, build relationships between members and local municipal leaders, and develop an early tracking system to identify and address issues of concern. The program positions REALTORS® to have a direct impact on local decisions affecting real estate and private property rights and places the REALTOR® Association in the forefront as a defender of private property rights.

What are Town Liaisons?

Town Liaisons are the key players that connect the Berkshire Board of REALTORS to the communities we serve. A Town Liaison is asked to alert the CEO on any issue related to real estate and private property rights affecting the community.  The CEO and the Government Affairs Committee will take this information and learn about potential impact, strategist our reaction, share information and mobilize our members.

Town Liaisons are not expected to develop talking points or present testimony at a municipal committee meeting, but may asked to do so by the Board, if willing.  No member may take a position on any issue on behalf of all Realtors, the Board of REALTORS or the Real estate industry as a whole without Board approval.  Please sign up if you are interested!
