A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT What a second quarter we have had! Starting with the Spring Fling in April – we met several new prospective members and had some great conversations on the outside deck at Grills. Then, in May, we heard a great presentation from Michael Dujovne from the VOLK Law Offices about double-dipping on Homestead exemptions. Last, and certainly not least, our Casino Event was a blast! This was the first year that we held an event in partnership with another organization – HBCA. We had over 130 people registered and 112 in attendance that night as we learned how to play BlackJack, Roulette, Craps, and 3-card poker. The DJ made it interesting as he had us get up and dance for more playing money. Petty’s did a nice job with the food. Thank you again to all who made this event such a success: sponsors, those who donated baskets for raffles, and those who donated their time planning and putting on the event. We hope you had an opportunity to meet some of the members of HBCA and form some new relationships. We look forward to hopefully doing this event again next year – can’t wait to see who we select as next year’s partner! Congratulations also to our Strategic Partner of the 2nd Quarter: Honor Construction Inspection Services! Over the course of the upcoming third quarter, we have a couple more Lunch ‘N Learns planned and a fun Members Only event in August at one of Melbourne’s newest restaurants. Please be sure to check out the calendar and watch for our emails so that you can register and take part. We will also be holding our annual elections at the August event. If you are interested in leadership, please let us know. Watch for the emails about how to nominate yourself for President Elect or Treasurer. In July, our District Event in Deland will take place. Please try to attend. The night of the 26th will be fun as we participate in a scavenger hunt in downtown Deland. On the 27th, we will have a nice luncheon and hear our State President, Cindy DeCoster speak. If you have not met her, this is your chance. The entire State line will be in attendance. Watch for the emails and try to be there. A group of us are planning on going. If you would like to see the benefits of being a member of Women’s Council, I want to encourage you to get involved in our Network. We are always in need of members who want to help with upcoming events. Please feel free to contact me or any member of our Board to get involved. We would love to have your help!

Brevard County President
Here at the Women's Council, we strive to provide timely, accessible programming, great networking and opportunities for your personal and professional growth.
Step UP Your Game, Step IN and Lead!
Women’s Council encourages members to get involved because participation translates into personal growth and leadership development. Taking part in one of our Project Teams will help you grow your leadership skills that will translate over to your business. A sample of the teams you can sign up for are our Membership Recruitment Team and our Membership Retention Team – both will allow you to learn how our Network operates and give you the opportunity to learn valuable recruiting skills.
We also provide educational events throughout the year that help you grow both personally and in your business. It takes a team to put on these events. Get involved this year by leading one of our event teams or taking part on one. The leadership, team building, and event planning skills will again help you with running your own business.
Last, but not least, our Networking/Social events will give you the opportunity to meet and mingle with some of the best local Realtors and our Strategic Partners. We love our Strategic Partners and ask that you use them next time you are looking for someone to help your customer or to help complete your Real Estate transaction.
So, make 2018 the year to get involved with Women’s Council – Step Up Your Game, Step In and Lead!
