About
Our Vision
Our vision is to bring together local leadership and to help with professional development, networking opportunities, and encourage community involvement.
Our Nationwide Mission
Today Women’s Council is a nationwide community of 12,000 Real Estate Professionals who include many of the best and brightest in the business. The backbone of the Council is its network of more than 250 local and state networks in nearly 40 states. This structure represents the largest Networks infrastructure in the REALTOR® family, that represent 1,200 elected officers that drive over 1,500 programs annually that focus on business leadership. Business leadership education is a core purpose of the Council today.
Background Story
In 1924, the California Real Estate Association formed a Women’s
Division, after members founded the idea on a train ride home from
the National Association’s convention in Washington, D.C. Fourteen
years later, Joseph Catherine, the 1938 president of the National Association of Realtors (then called the National Association of Real Estate Boards), encouraged the formation of the Women’s Council after being impressed by the California group and the immense potential of women in real estate.
At the time, NAR was already 30 years old and most decisions were
still made at the Local Board level. Unfortunately, most Local Boards were still resistant to women; however, the National Association was ready to recognize women in real estate and a positive vote resulted in the formation of a women’s division at the Annual Convention held in Milwaukee in November of 1938. Thirty-seven ambitious women represented nine states at that meeting and WCR’s inception.
Through the decades, WCR’s membership growth reflected the vast number of women choosing a career in real estate. Today we welcome men as well as women, and encourage you to get involved. Please feel free to reach out to any of us with any questions or suggestions.
