Osceola County

Dear Esteemed Members of the Women’s Council of Realtors® Osceola County,

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as your 2025 President. As a proud resident of Osceola County for the past 18 years, I am deeply committed to giving back to the community that has given so much to me. This year presents a meaningful opportunity to lead alongside others who have also heard the call to serve.

Before we look ahead, I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Milinda P. Knollinger for her outstanding leadership in 2024. Her vision and dedication have paved the way for our continued growth and success.

As we reflect on the past year—the challenges we’ve faced and the victories we’ve shared—I am reminded of this truth:
“Behind every successful woman is a tribe of other successful women who have her back.”
And that is exactly what the Women’s Council is—a supportive, empowering community of professionals who show up for one another with strength, grace, and intention.

I am proud to introduce your 2025 Leadership Team:

Gladys Thayer – President-Elect
Jessica Fredrick – First Vice President
Eva Gordon – Treasurer
Donnita Damiper – Membership Director
Tatiana Diaz – Events Director

Our board has already begun working with enthusiasm and unity to plan a year filled with meaningful education, purposeful networking, and, of course, moments of fun and connection. As we embrace #StrongerTogether2025, we hope you’ll join us in showing up authentically, engaging fully, and lifting each other higher.

We warmly invite you to consider getting involved—whether through a committee, helping with events, or stepping into a future leadership role. Every act of service, no matter how small, enriches our network and builds stronger bonds.

Serving as your 2024 President-Elect has been a transformative journey. I continue to believe wholeheartedly in the Women’s Council mission:
“We are a network of successful Realtors® advancing women as business leaders in the industry and in the communities we serve.”

Since joining in 2023, I’ve found not just professional development, but a family of women who celebrate each other’s wins, offer support during hard times, and inspire leadership in one another.

As we move into this new year, we look forward to deepening our collaborations—with our Strategic Partners, the Osceola County Association of Realtors®, and Women’s Council networks across the nation. Together, we will provide the tools and community you need to thrive in both business and leadership.

Please never hesitate to reach out—to me or any board member. Your voice, your presence, and your ideas are valued here.

With gratitude and warmest wishes for a beautiful year ahead,

Lisa Marie Sierra Arroyo
President 2025
Women’s Council of Realtors® Osceola County
