A Message from the President:

I hope this message finds you well! It is with great pride and gratitude that I take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for your invaluable membership whether you are here for the first time, have been a member for years, or on and off again – we thank you for your engagement.

The Women’s Council of Realtors is a groundbreaking organization that has been empowering women in the real estate industry since it’s inception in 1938. Established at a time when women were often excluded from many professional realms, WCR has championed the advancement of women in real estate through education, leadership development and networking opportunities.

Leaders are truly made here with Women’s Council. It happens over time with every yes when asked to help or serve our cause. When members lean into board roles or tackle specific tasks, they are not just completing assignments; they are embarking on a path of personal and professional growth. Each experience-be it public speaking, understanding team dynamics, budgeting, or organizing impactful events—helps us evolve as teammates, professionals, and, most importantly, as human beings.

The Women’s Council offers us wonderful gifts: friendship, opportunities, travel, referrals, and the chance to serve. Our relationships deepen as we nurture our connections, and the possibilities for collaboration and innovation are truly endless.

Businesses seeking collaborative partnerships as strategic partners are encouraged to reach out. We welcome the chance to work together and create mutually beneficial relationships.  Your support helps us learn and grow at state and national meetings bringing it back to our local networks to keep the organization thriving.  #leadersmadehere says it all.  Thank you in advance for keeping the mission alive!

I can tell you personally that this journey over the past few years for me has brought me unexpected gifts and rewards that I could have never dreamed of.

So on behalf of the 2026 Board I want you to know that we are beyond excited about the year ahead and what we have to offer.

Allow me to introduce our 2026 Leadership Team:

• President Elect: Whitney Phillips
• First Vice President: Kami Bachir
• Treasurer: Lindsy Knapp
• Events Director: Suzie Joseph
• Membership Director: Sara Wilson

Each member of our leadership team is an outstanding professional, poised to excel in their respective roles.  With servant hearts, a vast array of skillsets, and a ton of talent, these ladies have what it takes to make 2026 amazing.

We hope you will embrace this opportunity as we continue to grow and thrive together. We warmly invite you to join us on this transformative path!

Warmest regards,

Teresa Huntley
