- SURVEY: Understand the existing diversity of SFAR’s membership and leadership.
- RECRUITMENT: Increase diversity of new and in-coming SFAR members and leaders.
- STEWARDSHIP: Nurture the success of existing SFAR members and leaders who come from diverse backgrounds.
- EDUCATION & CONVERSATION: Create space for education and conversations with the wider SFAR community on issues that impact diversity, equity, and inclusion -- systemically and in our individual lives.

EDUCATION AND EVENTS
The mission of the Education and Events Committee is to create inspired content that adds value beyond that which individual brokerages can offer, design thoughtful events that bring members together in the spirit of comradery and highlight the best SFAR has to offer in collaboration with other committees. We learn from and support anti-racist practices brought to light by the Diversity Committee, we celebrate and lead with YPN, we promote the Government Affairs agenda and help get out the vote (!) and we bring awareness to the Forms and MLS platforms. Our goal in 2022 is to leave the Association better off when we start 2023.
