March is National Women’s History month, and March 8, 2019, was International Women’s Day. N.C. Realtors celebrate this month the fearless women who, throughout our history, shaped the association, their communities and the real estate industry into what it is today.

Women are legends in their own right, serving as Realtor leaders at the local, state and national levels. They have the courage to stand tall in the face of adversity against disruptors, obstacles, naysayers and non-believers.

They advocate on behalf of fellow Realtors, homeowners, association staff, the trade and each and every one of you.

They tackle sensitive issues with grace, build consensus, motivate the masses and sacrifice personally to do what, in their heart, they believe is the smart move at different times.

This month we shall actively celebrate the women in our association, lives, networks and industry every day of every month — not just during National Women’s History Month.

The MidCarolina Regional Association of Realtors, based in Southern Pines and includes Richmond County, is proud to have four strong women leaders. Association President Margaret Chirichigno and President-elect Kristi Snyder as well as MLS President Leasa Haselden and President-elect Debby Currier.
