State & National Directors

The Berkshires are provided 2 state director positions based on our size percentage compared to other boards in Massachusetts. These two positions are appointed by the current year president, along with one alternate director. The President of the Berkshire County Board of REALTORS® is granted, by MAR bylaw, a seat on the Massachusetts Board of Directors along with our 2 representatives. Additionally, there is one regional Vice President elected from Western Mass that also receive a vote on the MAR BOD, and this selection is made by all state directors in the Berkshire, Hampshire, Hampden and Franklin counties. Every 2-4 years that candidate is from Berkshire County. Finally, those members who run for an election to National leadership and obtain a seat on the NAR board of Directors are granted an automatic appointment to the MAR Board of Directors.
