RAPS EXCLUSIVENESS
OF REALTY BOARDS
National Body Opposes Limiting
Number of Good
Members.

Placing of arbitrary numerical limi-
tations on the number of members of
local real estate boards was disap-
proved as matter of public policy by
resolution of the board of directors of
the National Association of Real ES-
tate Boards meeting with its advisory
board in con junction with the recent
annual convention of the association
at Cleveland Since the constitution
of the association provides that there
shall be only one member board in
any city. and inaSmuch as the aSSo-
citation welcomes into the real estate
business men of character. proved
ability and moral responsibility, the
shutting off of any such men from the
benefits and services Of the asSocia-
tion would be incompatible with the
best interest of the real estate pro-
fession. the directors believe. Mem
ber boards now having such limita-
tions upon the number of active
members entitled under the reRula-
tions of the association to be called
realtors" will be advised that il is
the belief of the directors that such
limitations should be removed
Right of the member boards to es-
tablish such membership qualifica-
tions and regulations as they see fit
is recognized by the associations S
directors in the resolutions. ESta b.
lishment of high standards in the
selection of active members is to be
encouraged, but once such standards
are established. the directors hold.
membership should be open to all
who can qualify.
