View Your 2026 SWMLS BOD Candidates

Vote online Monday, October 6th - Sunday, October 12th.

The SWMLS  Nominating Committee has officially selected the candidates for the 2026 SWMLS Board of Directors Election.

The SWMLS Board election includes five director positions and openings for President-elect and Treasurer. 

This board is comprised of both Participants and Subscribers. To keep the proper balance, the SWMLS Board must always have more Participants than Subscribers. With five seats open this year, only one could go to a Subscriber, so most, if not all, Participants will fill seats.

Definitions
  • Participant:  Hold a current, valid New Mexico real estate qualifying Broker's license and cooperate, or are licensed or certified by an appropriate state regulatory agency to engage in the appraisal of real property. Full definition available in the SWMLS Bylaws
  • Subscriber:   Non-Principal Broker and licensee and/or appraiser affiliated with Participant (QB or DR)  who, under the SWMLS   Rules, has qualified and joined as a Subscriber.
Voting

For SWMLS, only Participants in good standing with SWMLS may vote in this election and their votes are weighted based upon the number of Associate Brokers/Subscribers they represent.

The top vote-getter in the SWMLS Board of Directors election will choose their desired term: 3-, 2- or 1-year. The second top vote-getter will choose from the remaining terms, and subsequent Director-elects will choose from the remaining terms until all are filled.

Be sure to vote to have your voice heard in shaping the future leadership of our association.
