Stellar MLS Councils
Stellar MLS prioritizes the suggestions, ideas, and concerns of our customers and associations through the recommendations of three councils. These councils serve as sounding boards to Stellar MLS’s executive team and underscore one of our core values: " We listen before we speak.” ensuring that you are seen, heard, and addressed on various topics.
MLS Advisory Council
The Stellar MLS Advisory Council (MAC), comprised of members of each of our shareholder and customer associations, reviews suggestions on MLS products, fields, input rules and data integrity rules and regulations. Suggestions from the MAC are vetted by Stellar MLS’s executive leadership, and if feasible, submitted to the Board of Directors.
If you have suggestions or feedback for the MAC to review, we’d love to hear from you.
