President’s Message
It is hard to believe that March is already over. We have had three very successful Business Resource Meetings, a trip to Austin, a district meeting and two networking events. We collected items for the Ft. Bend Women’s Center in February. We have built benches and collected nuts for our soldiers serving overseas.
I am grateful for all of the people who are committed to making this organization successful. No President can do this alone. Invariably, someone steps up to take on a task and I sigh in relief. Our governing board is filled with members who see the value in operating a local chapter. Many have walked in my shoes and appreciate the personal and professional growth that is gained by really getting involved with Women’s Council of Realtors.
I look forward to the next quarter of 2012. In Apri,l we have a diversity panel scheduled for our meeting. Andi St. Jean will moderate the panel. Cathy Simeone and Sherrie Fontenot are leading the way for our Basket Auction fundraiser. We will not have a Business Resource Meeting in May, but we are planning a great event and the Natural Science Museum, in Telfair during May. Additionally, Kim Shaw, Theresa Fehr and I will attend the National Mid-Year Meeting in Washington DC, from May 17-20th. National did an amazing job last year of offering training and great speakers. I cannot wait to see what they have planned for us this year. I will remember to bring my allergy medication this time. The foliage in Washington DC was memorable. In June, we will present a “just in time topic”. Diane McCoy with Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors will present a legal update on the new lease forms.
Finally, I would like to mention our strategic partners. Champions School of Real Estate, Perry Homes, Highland Homes, Telfair and Trendmaker Homes continue to support us year after year. Our meetings and officer travel would not be possible without your support.
At your service,
Barbara
