Our Committees
As a member-driven organization, the Springfield Board of Realtors (SBOR) relies on volunteer committees to pursue our strategic objectives. Working on a committee can be both challenging and rewarding. Committee Members stay informed of developments in the real estate industry at the local, state, and national levels.
