RAIC Emerging Practitioners Steering Committee

As of September 10, 2020, the RAIC will be transitioning the Emerging Practitioners (EP) Committee from a Board committee structure to one where EP representation will be infused throughout RAIC operational activities.  
 

The board is looking forward to expanding the opportunities to support EPs holistically throughout the organization. Stay tuned for more information in the months ahead.
