The Alberta government is transitioning its online land title search services from SPIN2 to ARLO, its new digital land registry system.

Thank you to all the members who have volunteered to sit on the 11 CREB^®/REALTORS^® Association of Edmonton (RAE) merger exploration working groups that were announced over the summer.

A couple of weeks ago, governance expert Alli Marshall’s CREB^®Talk article “What the heck is ‘good governance’, anyway?” talked about operational versus strategic governing approaches and the roles of boards of directors in each. 

On Sept. 17, T3 Sixty will hold in-person and online information sessions for CREB^® members about the CREB^®-RAE merger exploration process.

Great leaders don’t always see themselves as leaders right away. Sometimes, it takes someone else recognizing their potential — or an opportunity to see where their skills and experience could make a difference.

In a series of articles, we’re discussing What the Heck is Governance. As we do in all areas of our work, we draw on the knowledge and experiences of experts. 

In July, we announced that T3 Sixty had been chosen as the consultant that will facilitate the exploration process of whether merging CREB^® and RAE would provide value to members. 

As part of the ongoing implementation of CREB^®'s 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, the CREB^® Board of Directors has approved two mid-year updates to the Strategic Plan and Framework.

In May we announced that CREB^® and the REALTORS^® Association of Edmonton (RAE) had agreed to explore whether a merger of the two organizations would benefit our members. This message is to let you know that we have engaged a consultant, T3 Sixty, to guide us through this exploration.

We don't just collect feedback; we use it. The CREB^® Member Satisfaction Survey gave members an opportunity to tell us what's working, what could be improved and where we should focus our efforts.

Strong governance helps ensure CREB^® continues to make thoughtful, strategic decisions on behalf of members. CREB^®’s Governance Manual is posted on the Governance Excellence tab on CREB^®Link and it explains our governance framework; which involves people, processes and the structures that establish how that is to occur.

In a series of articles, we’re discussing What the Heck is Governance. As we do in all areas of our work, we draw on the knowledge and experience of experts. This week, we invited governance expert Alli Marshall to share her thoughts.
