Message from the 2026 President

Dear Members and Strategic Partners,

It is truly an honor to serve as the 2026 President of the Women’s Council of REALTORS® Gwinnett Network. Stepping into this role represents far more than a title, it reflects a deep commitment to leadership, service, and a community that has shaped both my personal and professional journey.

I was raised right here in Gwinnett County. This community is home for me, and it instilled in me the values of resilience and service. To now lead a network that pours back into the very community that raised me is both humbling and deeply meaningful.

This network is a place where possibility begins. Guided by our mission, to advance women as leaders in the industry and in the communities we serve, we remain focused on developing leaders, strengthening relationships, and creating impact that extends beyond real estate.

In a very personal way, Women’s Council poured into me. Through mentorship, encouragement, and opportunities to serve, this network helped me grow in confidence, sharpen my leadership, and step fully into my purpose. That experience is what drives my commitment to ensuring every member and strategic partner feels supported, valued, and empowered.

As we move into 2026, our focus is clear: expanding access to education, increasing visibility, deepening community partnerships, and creating meaningful opportunities for involvement. Progress does not happen alone, it happens when a community rises together.

Thank you for your continued trust, your involvement, and your belief in this network. I look forward to an impactful year ahead as we lead with purpose, integrity, and heart.

Here’s to a powerful 2026.

Tish Simmons
2026 Women’s Council of REALTORS® Gwinnett President
