President’s Message
Greetings California RRC members,
Pray you and your loved ones are well! A warm welcome to our new members. With our season of celebrations (Thanksgiving, Xmas, …) fast approaching, we should keep in mind the several communities have been impacted by several major fires up and down our state. Your state RRC network has made contributions on your behalf to support those impacted directly by the Caldor fires and generally through California Association of Realtors Disaster Relief Fund.
With deep gratitude
It has been an honor and pleasure to serve as your state President since mid-2020 till the end of this year. I wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your continued encouragement and support – our team has adapted well through Covid challenges and been able to provide a full program of high-quality events and excellent member engagement. I am certain our excellent leadership team will continue to build on our strengths, and I wish Lisa the very best for next year.
CA RRC Events and classes
I am delighted to report our network actively engaged with our members at several events over the past quarter - Sell-a-bration in Lake Tahoe, several Happy Hours throughout our state during CRS week, wine tasting at Newport Beach winery, and others. We are tentatively looking at the possibility of hosting a happy hour at the National Association of Realtors annual conference in San Diego, subject to being able to do so. Please consider joining us for future state and national (Sell-a-bration 2022) events.
