The biggest surprise of my life State Realtor of the Year

By
Home Stager with Stage-Show-Sell

I've been a member of WCR for over 10 years.  Probably closer to 15.

Licensed in 1991 and a member shortly there after. I was asked to be on one committee, the budget committee, because math is my background.  That was the start of a wonderful experience.

Some members, not me, like to call us feather dusters.  I like to call myself the been there and done that.

I've sat on almost every committee and chair for the local Birmingham Bloomfield Chapter including President.

That took me to being President of the Michigan State Chapter and governor for two years.

WCR is educational and growing experience that can't be duplicated anywhere.  No other organization, that I've belonged to,  understands and follows Robert Rules of Order like the Women's Council of REALTORS.

Anyway, I got off the subject.

This week we had our first State meeting of the year.  I came back from Florida early so that I could accept the plaque from the local chapter as REALTOR of the year.  It's such an honor for me to receive it.

The final part of the meeting is to announce the State Realtor of the year.  They went on and on about a member who has done a lot for the State.  I kept looking around and to my amazement they announced my name.   This truly brought tears to my eyes. 

WCR is my passion and addiction.  To receive an award for it completely overwhelms me.   Thank you, my fellow members.

Tatseos Member of the year

Giving me the award is Beth Pressler (Red shirt).  Many of you know her from National Meetings.  I know her as sister in WCR and friend.

Leslie,

WCR has been around for about 65 years.  It was started to be a place for women to grow and be equal in the RE market.  There is a chapter in your area.

Mimi,

Our Birmingham Bloomfield active rain account is a test to see if we can get our members to go there and read it.  NO ADS - COMMERCIALS  just info on the chapter.  We are trying to get rid of the complicated, and no one reads, web site.

I'll be more than happy to post and watch your group also.  It's too bad we don't have just one for all the qustions and networking.

We need ours to be just information on what is going on in our chapter and hope that others do not post to it.

I hope that the Women's Council on Active Rain group can become a place for ALL MEMBERS to post.  If you wouldn't mind spreading the word that there is one site on Active Rain for ALL WCR members, I sure would appreciate it!

Live good. Be happy.
