| Message from our President
Welcome to the Rhode Island Chapter of Women’s Council of Realtors® website!
Our Rhode Island Chapter was founded in 1960 and next year will be our 50th year as a chapter in our state.
WHO WE ARE: The Women’s Council of Realtors® is a nationwide community of real estate professionals who include many of the best and brightest in the business. We are productive Realtors®with reliable expertise helping each other reach our next level of success. With more than 18,000 members, WCR is the twelfth largest women’s organization out of 700 in the United States. Our WCR is an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
WHAT WE DO: At WCR, we are never standing still! That is why in 2003 we launched an entirely new designation, the Performance Management Network. Our PMN courses dig deep into the hot topics that are shaping our business.
HOW WE DO IT: WCR has an established network of 300 state and local chapters with volunteer managers trained to position their chapters as a business resource center in their Realtor® communities. With regular networking and education programming designed to keep our members at the top of their game, it is a small wonder that WCR members collectively generate over $100 million in commissions annually.
AT A GLANCE:
*The average WCR member has a gross income of $117,900 and has 17.5 years experience in real estate
*70% of WCR members have ten or more years experience in real estate
*Among more than 700 U.S. women’s organizations, WCR is the 12th largest
Our Chapter consists of a Governing Board. We hold eight general education meetings per year and a fundraiser social/charity event. We welcome you to visit our next general meeting to be announced on our website as well as all your local Realtor® websites (Newport County Board of Realtors®, Kent-Washington County Board of Realtors®, Greater Providence Board of Realtors®, Northern Rhode Island Board of Realtors®, and Statewide MLS.)
We look forward to seeing you at our next general meeting to see if Women’s Council of Realtors® (6% of our membership includes men) is right for you and your business!
Sincerely,
Shannon Buss
2010 President
