📍 Greetings from Chula Vista!

What an amazing week at the beautiful Gaylord Pacific Resort in Chula Vista for our Fall Meetings!

Over just two days, I visited 22 caucuses to share my Powered by Purpose campaign priorities.

1. Leveraging Our Advocacy: Making sure members and consumers know about our legislative wins in real time — on the platforms where they get their news. REALTORS® must frame the narrative!

2. Transparent, Inclusive & Responsive Leadership: Ensuring your voices are heard — and acted upon.

3. Restoring TRUST in the REALTOR® Brand: With our members and the public, so that REALTORS® remain the trusted voice of real estate, homeownership, and housing in California.

🙏 Thank you all for the warm reception and for allowing me to share my vision. With shared purpose, we will accomplish our goals!

➡️ If I missed your caucus, you’re my top priority for the Winter Meetings in Monterey.

Dues & Reserves:

✅ Approved dues increase & reallocation to ensure advocacy costs are more equitable. 🎯 Goal: a $50 million Advocacy war chest.

Transparency & Inclusivity:

✅ Adoption of six best practices, including a Leadership Roadmap & Guide for our members.

Mortgage Access for Non-Permanent Residents:

✅ C.A.R. supports — and encourages NAR to support — federally insured mortgage eligibility for non-permanent residents who meet all requirements (lawful presence, SSN, TIN, evidence of continued residency, and income stability).

Women’s Council of REALTORS® Installation - Celebrating incredible women leaders shaping our industry.

Leadership Academy Graduation - Congratulations to the inaugural class of leaders on this milestone achievement!

California Association of Black Real Estate Professionals Mixer - Complete with DJ, line dancing, and big smiles all around!

Nacho Average YPN Fiesta - Networking never tasted so good!
