Pensacola Bay Area

I am honored and extremely excited to serve as the 2023 President-Elect of our Women’s Council of REALTORS Pensacola Bay Area.
As I accept this position of Leadership, I must acknowledge our primary goals to our membership. First of all, to provide our members with an exceptional Real Estate related educational experience that will help set our members on a Road To Success. You will have a place to learn, network, and share referrals through the country with like-minded professionals throughout the country. You will also be given the opportunity in our Not For Profit, all-volunteer organization, to experience the opportunity to rise to leadership roles in Local, State, and National WCR Councils if you so desire.
Women’s Council is a dynamic network of accessible and diverse members that share a common goal by linking each member to the tools, training, and support to develop your skills in business leadership and a level of success that will last a lifetime.

My first introduction to Women's Council was by meeting many members, both women and men, that talked and walked successful roles that were enhanced by their membership in WCR. At meetings and conferences, I was amazed at the camaraderie that was shared openly with an honest willingness to share the knowledge that helped make most attendees very successful in our Real Estate market area. They parked their egos at the door sharing things that helped them build their careers instead of learning through the school of hard knocks and costly mistakes.

I would also urge my fellow gentlemen to get involved and see just how much fun we do have working together, sharing information, and achieving some charitable goals in our local community.
