CREIA leadership and management have worked hard on the important topic of instituting meaningful background checks of our members. We are ready at this time to join other trusted public service professions and organizations, such as municipal employees, educators, law enforcement and safety officers, Realtors, structural pest control board licensed contractors, and many other groups and organizations too numerous to list here, by vetting our members. We believe this will be a valuable member benefit in that Realtors and others will feel confident and secure knowing that CREIA members have agreed to this.
