New LIBOR Board Members Announced

Long Island Board of REALTORS® (LIBOR) is pleased to announce the newly elected 2022/23 At-Large Board of Directors.

Voting took place online on October 27, 2021 and election results were announced at LIBOR’s Virtual General Membership Meeting, held simultaneously. A total of sixteen (16) At-Large Directors were elected. Thirteen (13) elected to 2-year terms, and three (3) elected to 1-year terms.

Board of Director applications were accepted beginning in February. The Credentials Review Committee reviewed all candidate applications for the At-Large Director position to confirm each candidate met the minimum criteria as set forth in the LIBOR Bylaws and Policy and Procedures manual.

LIBOR’s Board of Directors comprises twenty-seven (27) At-Large Directors and four (4) members of the Executive Committee; all of whom are members of LIBOR.

2021 saw the much-needed revision of pertinent LIBOR Bylaws and Policies related to Election and Board Composition to bring about a more diverse leadership within the association. The Board of Directors will now comprise less members, whom are voted on by the entirety of membership.

These elected volunteer leaders will meet regularly to make decisions about how best to invest member resources to implement the association’s strategic goals and to work diligently to represent the needs and values of our members.

The 2022 Board of Directors will be installed at the 2021 Installation and Awards Ceremony held in December.
