At the State Level, we have offered the first “Nuts and Bolts” Leadership Orientation, with Gail Athas as the keynote speaker, regarding the qualities of a leader.  The purpose of this orientation was and will be to insure that officers have a better understanding of their roles and purpose.

The goal of Women’s Council of REALTORS® all over the country is to become a business resource center and a place to encourage and empower women to become leaders in the real estate community.  In order to continue with this goal in mind, Roger Turcotte, a nationally sought after speaker, will present a 2 CEU seminar on “Helping the Buyers navigate in a Buyer’s Market.” You can check out his website at www.rogerturcotte.com.

As your President, serving on the board for the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS® has been a most wonderful experience.  At these meetings I represent you by bringing information of our accomplishments, our future plans and I have the opportunity to vote on upcoming budgets and other events of matter.  I have also previously attended the Mid-Year and National Conferences and voted for the National Officers and any bylaw changes.

Over the past six years I have had the pleasure of serving as the National Governor for the State of NH and as a LCP officer.  During both difficult times and good, these opportunities have helped me to remain focused on my career as a REALTOR®.  I have learned a great deal about working with others, running meetings, sticking to an agenda, setting goals, and the importance of networking.  I recommend to anyone who wants to become a successful business woman, to step up and take a chance to become an officer in Women’s Council of REALTORS®.  You’ll find being an officer doesn’t take time away from your business; it helps you learn how to work more effectively.

I want to thank all the members for making it possible for me to maintain my leadership role for so many years. I am looking forward to supporting the board as a member of the various committees.
