Volunteer Your Time With RRC

Holli Woodward, CRS

From the desk of 2022 RRC President Holli Woodward, CRS

I want to personally thank you for your participation in the recent Residential Real Estate Council elections. Members asked for the opportunity to vote, and we got it. I am glad to see that many of you made your voices heard.

Our newly elected Board members will continue to focus on our robust strategic plan with an emphasis on member growth and assisting independent broker-owners. It excites and encourages me to know that we continue to increase our referral partners in the U.S. and around the globe who truly understand the importance of top-tier education, cutting-edge technology and trusted referral partners to assist our clients in this ever-changing profession.

While elections for this year have passed, it is never too late to get involved with the Council—the list of volunteer opportunities is plentiful. Reach out to your state leadership, check state Facebook pages and visit CRS.com to make sure that you are up to date on upcoming local, state and regional events. The Council is always looking for local networking coordinators, members who want to get involved in leadership at the state level and those who are just plain passionate. We want you, and we need you!

Every step in my RRC and CRS journey has changed not only my career and leadership trajectory, but my life. I have gained confidence representing my clients and a confidence in myself to pursue those things that light a fire in my soul. Like many of you, it has never been about the titles. It’s about giving back to a profession that has given so much to me, with the most amazing bonus—being a part of this incredible RRC team, which is truly like family.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day, and we make time for those things that are most important to us. It’s my hope, as president, that even more of our outstanding current and future leaders with a true passion to serve will consider making that commitment. If elected, you would be an integral part of the governing body for our Council. How exciting is that? If you’re interested in stepping up and taking part in next year’s election, please educate yourself on the Council’s strategic plan, the election process and make sure that you review and understand the commitment involved before applying. If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to reach out to me or any member of our Board or leadership team.
