The Education Committee identifies member needs and desires in the area of real estate education, establishes goals for delivering education programs to the membership, assists in seeking course material or instructors to meet the goal.

The Grievance Committee determines if a complaint against a REALTOR® member, whether received from another member or from the public qualifies for a hearing before a panel selected from the Professional Standards Committee.

Service on the Grievance Committee provides a good foundation for futures service on the Professional Standards Committee.
