Committees
LCAR committees are instrumental in shaping the direction of the association.
Consider Joining a Committee!
The Lancaster County Association of REALTORS® encourages its members to get the most out of their membership by serving on one of LCAR’s many committees. Joining a committee is yet another way to strengthen your ties with fellow members and to advance the Association’s core programs initiative. Thanks to our committee volunteers, LCAR continues to grow and adapt further to our membership's needs.

PA State Directors
The Committee Meets 3 Times Per Year
Serving as a PA State Director is a unique opportunity to represent our local association at the state level and directly influence the future of Pennsylvania’s real estate industry. In this vital leadership role, you will attend Pennsylvania Association of Realtors (PAR) business meetings to vote on key policies, advocate for property rights, and ensure our members’ voices are heard. It is an excellent way to expand your professional network while bridging the gap between local needs and
statewide initiatives.
Professional Standards Committee

The Committee Meets As Needed

All aspects of the operation of the Professional Standards Committee are governed by the policies and procedures as stated in the Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manuel of the National Association of Realtors®.
Grievance Committee
