Association History

The association has a long history of outstanding leadership, dating back to our charter year in 1920. The organization was formed as the Boise Realty Board and there have been a few name changes over the years, becoming the Boise Board of REALTORS® in 1964, the Ada County Association of REALTORS® in 1990, and in 2016, the association began doing business as Boise Regional REALTORS®. In 2017, BRR merged with the Emmett Valley Association of REALTORS® and then with the Elmore County Board of REALTORS® in 2018. Through these mergers, BRR’s jurisdiction has expanded to cover Ada, Elmore, and Gem counties. Click the link below for a full list of Presidents by year, along with key milestones.
