WELCOME TO WOMEN’S COUNCIL OF REALTORS®
TEXAS
A MESSAGE FROM THE 2027 PRESIDENT • LEAD WITH PURPOSE
Dear Members and Future Members,
I am beyond excited to begin this year as your 2027 President of Women’s Council of REALTORS® Texas
and to share a theme that means so much to me personally: Lead With Purpose.
When I think about my journey through Women’s Council, I realize that this organization has been there
for me during so many different seasons of my life. During times of growth and celebration, but also
during times of need, change, and loss, Women’s Council gave me something I didn’t always realize I
needed.
It gave me people. It gave me purpose. It gave me opportunities to stay involved, to mentor others, to
continue growing as a leader, and sometimes simply to keep moving forward.

That is why Lead With Purpose is more than a theme for me. It represents what Women’s Council has
taught me and what I hope each of you will experience this year.
OUR PURPOSE IN 2027: LEAD WITH PURPOSE
Women’s Council is so much more than what you may see from the outside.
Yes, we provide incredible leadership opportunities. We help build confidence. We create opportunities
to collaborate, grow your business, and develop skills that will follow you throughout your career.
But there is another part of Women’s Council that is much harder to put into words.
It is the relationships.
It is sitting across the table from someone you may never have known otherwise and realizing that you
have more in common than you ever imagined. It is hearing someone else’s story and understanding
that they have walked in shoes similar to yours. It is having women and men around you who will
celebrate your successes, encourage you through your challenges, guide you in your business and
leadership journey, and remind you of what you are capable of.
Those relationships are beyond priceless.
Everyone who comes into Women’s Council has a story. Everyone brings different experiences,
strengths, challenges, and dreams. When we take the time to learn those stories and support one
another, something incredible happens – we become stronger together.

That is leading with purpose

Sincerely,

Karen Polanco- Women’s  Council of Real of Realtors, Texas 2027 State President
