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.

CREB^® is looking for members interested in bringing their experience, perspective and leadership to committee and board service.

Maybe that sounds like you. Or maybe someone in your network immediately comes to mind.

CREB^® volunteers bring different experiences and strengths to the table, but some of the qualities we value include:

• Collaborative — Brings people together and elevates perspectives
• Insightful — Turns knowledge and experience into meaningful ideas
• Strategic — Sees the bigger picture and thinks about what’s next
• Resilient — Reflects, adapts and continues to grow

Explore what leadership at CREB^® looks like

Curious about getting involved? Join us for Future Leaders on Sept. 16 at CREB^® Campus.

You’ll join current committee members and Board representatives for an interactive look at volunteer leadership at CREB^®. Hear candid stories and advice from members who’ve already stepped forward, learn what happens at committee and Board tables and explore the different ways you can contribute.

Know someone who would be a great fit? Start a conversation and encourage them to attend. Sometimes, future leaders simply need someone they respect to tell them, “I see it in you.”
