NCJAR past leaders provide valuable advice and guidance to current officers and board members. They provide insights regarding prior practices and operations which help ensure effective association management. Additionally, they contribute to developing and implementing strategic plans for the association's long-term success.

NAR Directors govern at the National Association of Realtors® level. They approve Association expenditures, set membership dues, establish governing policies, and approve amendments. Directors must know and report issues, participate in meetings, and bring matters of concern to the Association. The NAR Board of Directors depends on their experience, knowledge, judgment, and spirit.
