Los Gatos: Wang to lead women's Realtor council as president

As some of you may know, I have chosen lead the Women's Council of Realtors Silicon Valley Network for a 2nd year in a row. I just found out today that an article was written up on me in the San Jose Mercury News by Rose Meily with SILVAR.
Los Gatos: Wang to lead women's Realtor council as president

Members of Realtor and other real estate professional organizations and companies in Silicon Valley congratulated the Women's Council of Realtors Santa Clara Valley chapter's 2015 president and officers at the group's leadership team's installation on Jan. 21.

The 2015 president of the women's Realtor group is Mimi Wang, a Realtor with Century 21 M&M in Cupertino and a member of the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors. Wang also served as president of the WCR chapter last year.

Linda Lee, 2015 California State Women Council of Realtors president, administered the oath of office to Wang and her leadership team, which includes Beatriz Supnet, a Realtor with Fireside Realty, president-elect; Sonia Walia, mortgage loan originator with Stearns Lending, treasurer/secretary; Claudine Rydquist, a Realtor with Intero Real Estate Services, membership director; and Sheryl Martinez, a Realtor with Aalis Platinum Properties, program director. Also joining the team are Matt Nguyen, loan officer with US Bank, as vice president of marketing; and Thora Tam, interior decorator with Decorating Den Interiors, as networking director.

The Women's Council of Realtors serves as a network and source of education and business tools focused on the needs of women Realtors and seeks to empower women to exercise their potential as entrepreneurs and industry leaders. WCR is the 12th largest women's organization in the country.

"The Leader in You" is the WCR theme this year. Wang said that as a WCR chapter president last year, she had the opportunity to learn much about leadership and acquire skills that helped her fulfill her role. This year, she wants to groom other members of the local chapter to be leaders.

"My goal as 2015 president is to help others individuals grow in our industry, so that they, too, can become the great leaders found through the WCR organizations. The Realtors council is here to help turn your potential as a leader into actual leadership ability," Wang told WCR members.

Present at the installation were officials and representatives from the state and local WCR chapters and Realtor and other real estate professional associations and companies. Representing the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors at this special event were president-elect Karen Trolan, past president David Tonna, Region 9 chair Carolyn Miller and treasurer Phyllis Carmichael.

Trolan congratulated Wang and the 2015 WCR leadership team on behalf of the local trade association. She noted she joined the women's Realtor group in 1991 and praised the council for its work. She commended Wang on her leadership of the WCR chapter for two years in a row and extended the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors' warm regards and support to the group.
