As we jump back into the office after Labor Day, we can sometimes forget in our day to day busy schedules, just how important it is to take a break! So I hope you spent the long weekend out of your office, in the sun and surrounded by friends and family! I know I did!
Last week I had the amazing opportunity to join hundreds of Women in Real Estate at the Annual California Association of REALTORS® WomanUP!® Conference in Huntington Beach, CA.
Not only did I get to attend and learn, but I was honored with being a Speaker, Emcee, Moderator AND taking over the Official WomanUP!® Instagram account – it was all of my favorite things wrapped up in a three-day event.
If you haven’t heard of C.A.R.’s WomanUp!® before, allow me to introduce you to this wonderful community. WomanUp!® exists to support the journey of women to the very top of their careers, whatever they might be! It’s a community for women in Real Estate; from Brokers to Agents and everyone in between. It’s a community where you can mentor, share your experiences, your best practices and learn from the collective wisdom of women in our industry!
It’s a community for US.So… What did we actually do over the course of the three-day event? Get ready… it’s A LOT!

CircleUP BreakOUT Sessions with Industry Leaders on a range of topics.
-

Boundless Advice from Industry Legends.

A Professional Headshot Lounge.

And my personal fave… WINE TASTING with the Mondavi Sisters!
This years WomanUP!® Conference was just the event I needed to fill up my tank again. And I was honored to be a part of it!
While sharing all of my photos and stories from the event is fun… I want this to serve as your reminder to GET INVOLVED! Whether it’s at a local level, or a national level, getting involved is such an important part of being a REALTOR®. It gives you a sense of community, friendship, and in cases like this – Sisterhood.
So… if WomanUP!® wasn’t on your calendar for this year, it better be for next year! Because I want to see YOU there!
