Description: The Credentials Committee is the First Point of Contact with all officers, directors, committee members and other C.A.R. members attending official C.A.R. Business Meetings.  The committee expedites the registration process at C.A.R. Business Meetings and issues badges, registration information, political action & officer recognition ribbons, and other pertinent materials at the meetings and California REALTOR® Expo.  In addition, the Credentials Committee members review and verify membership contact information with all officers, directors and committee members, and ensure the changed and updated information is providedto C.A.R. Membership Services and local Associations.  Items needing to be updated may be added to from time to time, but should always include current email address, primary telephone number, preferred mailing address and current member photograph.Mission: Competent, professional and friendly service to Volunteer Members is paramount.  The committee members recognize their primary responsibility as the First Point of Contact is to greet Volunteer officers, directors and committee members and set the tone and pace for the ensuing meeting.  It is recognized that many directors and committee members are attending the business meetings for the first time and will have additional questions and require extra explanations.  Committee members will balance the need for additional information with effective crowd management when registration lines are the longest, always maintaining a professional and friendly demeanor while ensuring all needed information is communicated.  Tasks include,but are not limited to, providing official badges, registration materials, schedules, political action & officer recognition ribbons, event entry tickets, providing facility directions and ensuring all members receive last minute bulletins and changes in a timely fashion.  (January 2003)
