Notice of Special Meeting & Bylaws Vote

NOTICE OF A Special Meeting of the Membership of the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors TO BE HELD Electronically via ZOOM® ON Wednesday, July 30, 2025.

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors (the “Association”) has called for a special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the membership of the Association for the sole purpose of voting on proposed amendments to the Association’s Bylaws.

The Meeting will be held electronically via ZOOM® on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, commencing at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. Special meetings of the membership have, in the past, been held in person. We are doing something different for this Meeting. To provide more flexibility to our members and encourage more participation in the vote, this Meeting will be held via ZOOM® and members eligible to vote will be able to do so electronically using the Association’s new third-party balloting service, ElectionBuddy. Consequently, there is no physical site for the Meeting, and you are invited to participate in the Meeting over the Internet from your home, office or other remote location of your choosing.

Voting on the proposals at the Meeting will be open until 3:00 PM Pacific Time on July 30, 2025, and all votes must be submitted by that time to be counted. When you register for the Meeting on ZOOM®, you must use your e-mail address on record with the Association for your vote to count. Click here to verify your e-mail address of record. A ZOOM® link for the Meeting will be sent to that e-mail address and made available through the Association’s member portal on its website in advance of the Meeting. The link to vote via ElectionBuddy will be made available during the Meeting after you log in to the ZOOM®.

Eligible members who are not able to, or simply do not want to, attend and vote during the Meeting itself may alternatively vote by proxy ahead of time by filling out and submitting a proxy form. The proxy form and proxy voting will be available beginning July 28, 2025, at 9:00 AM Pacific Time. ElectionBuddy will e-mail you a link to the online proxy form at your e-mail address on record with the Association, and the link will also be made available through the Association’s member portal. If you vote by proxy, your vote will be cast strictly as directed by you on the proxy form, on the day of the Meeting, which shall constitute your attendance at the Meeting via proxy. If you cast your vote by proxy, you may still attend the Meeting via ZOOM®, but you will not be able to vote again. Your proxy form must be completed and submitted to ElectionBuddy prior to the close of the Meeting for your proxy vote to count.

The sole purpose of the Meeting is for our membership to vote “yes” or “no” on the following proposals:

1. To approve changes to Article 11 section 2 (f) of the Bylaws to remove Treasurer term limit.

2. To approve changes to Article 11 section 3 of the Bylaws, makeup of BOD - to remove two at Large Director seats from the Board.

3. To approve changes to Article 11 section 3 of the Bylaws, makeup of BOD - to remove the MLS and CALV seats from the Board, to take effect January 1, 2026.

8. To approve the changes to Article 13 Section 1 of the Bylaws - changes to committees.

9. That all housekeeping items such as title corrections and renumbering and wording changes in the Bylaws be approved.

Each of the proposals has been approved, and is being recommended, by the Board. Each of the proposals will be voted on separately by membership. No additional proposals or amendments to the Bylaws will be recognized or voted on at the Meeting.

Per the Association’s Bylaws, members are to be notified of the purpose, date, time, and location of the Meeting, in writing. This communication constitutes the mentioned notification. Your vote, either cast personally during the Meeting or by proxy beforehand, on any of the proposals will constitute your attendance at the Meeting for the purpose of establishing a quorum. For a proposal to pass, 2/3rds of the votes cast must vote in favor of the proposal.

All of the materials are available for review on the Association’s webpage, via the member portal. A video summary of the proposed amendments to the Bylaws from our President is viewable by clicking here. The proposed amendments and explanatory comments, in writing, are accessible by clicking here. If you would like to review the current Bylaws, click here.
