The members of the State Chapter Michigan Women's Council of Realtors have honored me by placing me as a nominee for the 2009 Pres-Elect Position.

I was stunned to see my name on the ballot.  I believe the members asked for this so that communication can open up.  I don't believe there is enough communication among the chapters and leadership.  I am afraid if elected, I will communicate too much and the leadership will get sick of me (-:

In some recent correspondence a local chapter leadership said she was impressed the I "had the courage to voice my feelings".  That's why we are a membership.  If people are afraid to communicate, the chapters will go down.

I visited the chapters of Western Wayne, Western, Lakepointe, Saginaw and Birmingham-Bloomfield this year to see how other chapters operate.  All chapters are so unique that all can bring a good experience and share. 

I would like to see the meetings have some laughter.  They are so serious  that Local Chapters resident's dont' really promote this meetings to the membership.  I hope that can change in the future.

Since the membership nominated me, I would like to serve for them.  If you are a voting member for the Michigan Chapter Women's Council of Realtors please come to the Michigan Association of Realtors Convention- Women's Council of Realtors Meetings.
