Birmingham Bloomfield

Hello and welcome to 2020!

Before jumping into this new decade let's reflect on our past, learn the mission of our present and lay the foundation of our future.

PAST | Women’s Council exists because for the first 20 years of its existence, women were barred admission from many local REALTOR® associations, so a separate group was created, and in turn, a “women’s division” was formed at the Annual Convention in Milwaukee in November 1938 by thirty-seven women from 9 states. The Council exists today because its 80-year history and legacy is much more significant than “an organization of women”. It is the business leadership skills the Council provides that has positioned the Council as a leader for the industry, for organized real estate, and for political action committees.

PRESENT | Today's mission is that we are a network of successful REALTORS®, advancing women as business leaders in the industry and in the communities we serve.

FUTURE | Below are our Core Values, these are the footings of our foundation and what will establish our story in the future.

PROFESSIONAL CREDIBILITY | Members of the Women's Council of REALTORS® are career professionals who operate based on a shared value system of integrity and respect, and a commitment to excellence and continuous development.

THE POWER OF COLLABORATION | Success in business today is achieved through positive, productive collaboration. The Women's Council of REALTORS® provides an environment in which members support each other and work together to achieve personal growth and business success.

LEADERSHIP | Every business, industry and community needs business who can inspire others and effect positive change. Through the Women's Council of REALTORS®, members can discover and develop their authentic leadership style, apply new found leadership skills, and pursue leadership opportunities across all areas of their personal and professional lives.

INFLUENCE | Positive change comes from greater inclusion of women's perspectives in positions of influence in the real estate industry and in the broader community. OPPORTUNITY | The Council member network is enriched by embracing the full diversity of our industry, and the opportunity to contribute different experiences, ideas and perspectives.

New and Notable this year are Power Hours. These are free events to our Realtor Members and Platinum Partners only. We encourage you to attend and contribute, the meetings will be packed full of accountability and education!

Communication and Collaboration is important to us-let us know what you need and how we can support your 2020 goals!

Thank you,

Chelsea Cain
