From the Directors’ Table
The RAHB Board of Directors met February 28. The Directors dealt with a wide range of business:
- How to identify and define a “service philosophy” for interactions between RAHB, members and other stakeholders.
- The upcoming OREA and CREA Conferences. The Board reviewed OREA Bylaw changes required by new legislation governing not-for-profit groups in Ontario and discussed the OREA election (March 5-7, 2013).
The Board also briefly reviewed the business that will come before delegates to the CREA Conference (March 23-24) and noted that the recommendation for a separate MLS® corporation (“Newco”) was being withdrawn and a recommendation for the creation of a “Rate Your Real Estate Experience” tool – including a “Rate Your REALTOR®” component – to REALTOR.ca was being put forward.

- The audited financial statements were reviewed and recommended to the RAHB members for ratification. This will be done at the RAHB AGM on March 27.
- Approval of a new MLS® policy concerning listings of new members who were previously access or non-RAHB members with listings on the RAHB MLS® system. (See Bits & Bytes section for more information about the policy.)
- Workplans for various Board committees were approved.
- The “Single Sign On” (also known as members’ gateway or members’ portal) – which would be the landing page for members to sign in to navigate to MLX/change/Fusion, RAHB information, MOD, alerts, etc. – was given the go-ahead by the Directors.
- The Board approved the formation of a task force to review Directors’ compensation.
- The Board approved a CEO Scorecard for 2013. The scorecard outlines goals for and responsibilities and expectations of the RAHB CEO.
