  • Removal of the position of “Vice-President” from document – The Board has updated Policies to remove the Vice-President position in favor of President-Elect and a Past President position. The Bylaws needs to be updated to reflect that change.
  • Elder & Senior REALTORS® and Association President – These are not membership categories and therefore have been moved verbatim to the RASCW Policies document.
