Message from President Cheryl

December 22, 2018 by Fiona Theseira Leave a Comment

My Women’s Council of REALTORS®, California family & team, a heartfelt thank you for each and every one of you! You have enriched my life and made this one incredible journey.
What an amazing year this has been. We all worked together to make a few strategic moves that would strengthen our California network for years to come. Creating a better future and world and creating a positive ripple effect through our individual efforts. Before we move into 2019, let’s take a look at what we accomplished this year.
At our Winter meeting we had the opportunity to present to you a sensational National speaker, Anese Cavanaugh. She spoke to us about the 5 steps to emotional impact and much more. I heard from so many through the year on how much Anese impacted your life.
We also had a fabulous “Own It” Leadership panel with our special guest speaker Elizabeth Mendenhall, 2018 President of the National Association of REALTORS®. Elizabeth’s message as the 6th woman president in 110 years was “Own it” which is an attitude and an action. We need to be prepared to take charge.
Part of being a leader is recognizing that when we can mobilize around common causes and a common vision, we are unstoppable.
“At the council, we absolutely have the power to make a difference.”
Our Spring meeting was unstoppable and full of changes as we moved our Leadership elections from the Fall meeting to the Spring meeting to dedicate the Fall meeting to Leadership training. Our key note speaker was the unstoppable empowerment coach Debra Trappen. Debra embraced our Leaders Made Here training and spoke to us about embracing the leader inside you.
Our Fall Leadership Summit was a huge success. We gave you 13 hours of training instead of 3-4. We plan to continue to improve the summit next year. Preparing all California leaders for success in their positions and contribute to individual network growth is our number one goal. All of these new changes will help us grow as an organization and provide
continued member value. Together Leaders are Made Here, together we
are California Strong.
We welcome Gold Country, Metro L.A./Beverly Hills and Tulare to our family. We have 34 networks, and members at large and 1650 members.
I asked each of you at the beginning of 2018 to create a positive ripple effect in your network and your world. Our teams purpose is to support each of you at the local network. To encourage excellence in serving our members and to develop strong leaders for the Council, the profession and the community. Our leadership team was so very proud to watch this happen throughout the year. Watching your accomplishments and growth is our greatest gift.
On a personal note. I will never be able to Thank all the people that helped me to personally grow on this absolutely incredible leadership journey. I am very grateful to have such wonderful mentors that I now call my friends! A huge Thank you to Linda Lee, Cecily Tippery, Theresa Wilson, Fiona Theseira, Eileen Oldroyd, Rosanna Garcia, Kay Merg, Jamie Saltman, Heather Ozur, Tammy Newland, Rebecca Thompson, Cindy Decoster, Sheila Stanush, Erin Barry, Marianne Osberg, Nina Dosanjh, PJ Johnson, Betsy Fried, Kelly Resendez, Anese Cavanaugh, Lu Jayo, The Monterey Network for all their assistance with the 2018 installation, Barbara Clemons, Lizzy Lewis, All the 2018 Governors & District Vice Presidents and all of the 2018 Local Network Presidents and their teams. Cheers to each of you.
I wish all of you, success and happiness and always.
We are a network of successful REALTORS ® , advancing women as business leaders in the industry and in the communities we serve
Live, Love, Lead,
Cheryl
2018 President
