It was standing room only at the General Membership Meeting at the Burlington Holiday Inn on June 24, where members approved Bylaw changes to separate the MLS® Rules and Regulations and Bylaw. Members in attendance in person and by proxy voted 86 per cent in favour of the change. This effectively cleared the way for RAHB to continue moving forward with the Regional MLS® System.
RAHB was the last of the eight participating associations to ensure its Rules and Regulations and Bylaw are separate documents, which is a requirement for participation in the regional system.
Other highlights of the meeting
- 503 members attended and 126 proxies were registered for the meeting – the largest attendance in memory
- RAHB made use of secure voting devices (or “clickers” as they were called at the meeting) to record members’ votes. The clickers replaced the traditional red and green voting cards
- Members in attendance were encouraged to tweet their questions or comments on Twitter
- RAHB Past President Dan Gies, Chair of the Ontario Regional Technology & Information Services (ORTIS) Board of Directors, gave an update on ORTIS and the Regional MLS® System
- Bob van de Vrande (Apex Results Realty Inc.) presented a motion requiring greater transparency about professional standards, discipline and arbitration
violations and fines. (Information was provided to all members prior to the meeting and will also be included in upcoming annual reports.)
- Lynne Riddell (Keller Williams Edge Realty) won the draw for 2016 RAHB dues
Following the meeting, Michael Lane of ShowingTime demonstrated features of the appointment scheduling program which will be integrated into Matrix. (For more information about ShowingTime, watch the video at https://player.vimeo.com/video/117216129.)

This just in!! The GMM has been re-scheduled for
Wednesday, June 24, 2015
Holiday Inn Burlington
3063 South Service Road
Watch for more details coming soon!
What’s happening at the GMM on June 24?
The General Membership Meeting has been called to present motions from the Board of Directors to the membership. The motions affect the RAHB Bylaw and members’ approval is required.
What are the motions?
1. The first motion will recommend an amendment to the section of the Bylaw which requires that members ratify changes the Board of Directors make to the rules and regulations. This will effectively remove the MLS® Rules and Regulations from the RAHB Bylaw.
Members are being asked to approve this motion to achieve two goals:
- to ensure RAHB is compliant with the terms of the Shared Services Agreement RAHB has signed with the other boards and associations participating in the Regional MLS® System; and
- to continue in the work begun to streamline and improve the RAHB Bylaw to bring it closer to the document it should be.
2. The second motion recommends amending the Bylaw where references are made to rules and regulations. These are merely “housekeeping” amendments to keep the Bylaw consistent after the MLS® Rules and Regulations are no longer part of the Bylaw.
Watch for more information about these issues coming to you directly from RAHB President Donna Bacher and CEO Ross Godsoe. They will offer further insights into the importance of your support when these amendments are presented for approval at the GMM.
Want to know more in the mean time? Read “You Asked?” for answers to questions RAHB members have asked about removing the Rules and Regulations from the Bylaw, as well as questions about the Regional MLS® System. (REALTOR Link® > MLS® > You Asked?)
