The Power Of The Women's Council of Realtors

The Power Of The Women's Council of Realtors

To fully understand the power of The Women's Council of Realtors, it is necessary to attend a national event.  The midyear meeting was just such an event and it didn't disappoint.

The conference started out with a meet and greet on Thursday evening.  Afterwards about 16 of us from region 1 of the Women's Council went to DC Coast for dinner and had a great time making new friends and reconnecting with old.

Friday morning started early with a day crammed with education.  It is helpful to have more than one person present from your chapter so that you can split up and attend as many of the classes as possible.  Most of the Friday classes focused of how to make your chapter better with forums on professional development, leadership, chapter operations and communication.  Then we had the opportunity to listen to respected real estate coach Jackie Leavenworth speak on her pricing techniques to help get your listings sold.  It was amazing that WCR could bring in such a powerful national speaker to help us build our businesses.

Friday night was the banquet with the presentation of awards.  Wow...to see what so many chapters have accomplished.  And then for our Blue Ridge Chapter to win a Silver Chapter Excellence Award.  I felt so proud of our new chapter and at the same time motivated to acheive even more this year. 

Saturday was another jam packed day.  The morning was filled with more classes which were even better than those from Friday.  Then in the afternoon we had the opportunity to hear Stefan Swanepoel speak on "Top Trends Inpacting the Future of Real Estate".  I am a huge fan so I was blown away.  How cool is it that The Women's Council of Realtors can bring us this quality of speaker. 

The education and programs at the midyear conference were top notch, but the true power of the Women's Council of Realtors is in its members.  And the best part of attending a national WCR event is the relationships that you form with the other members.  It was so special to walk into a class and meet not one but two of my WCR facebook friends in person.  I came home with a stack of business cards and many new friends made and old friendships deepened. 

I encourage you to join the Women's Council of Realtors, get involved in your local chapter and attend a national event.  Feel the power of WCR!
