Welcome to Our 2023 Leadership Program Class Students

A leader can inspire and guide others toward a shared goal while maintaining integrity, empathy, and accountability.

We opened our 2023 Leadership Program application, not expecting an overwhelming response. Instead, to our surprise, we received more applications than ever before. The program selection committee agreed it was an opportunity to support four times as many WeSERV members ready to improve their leadership skills.

What defines a leader? A leader can inspire and guide others toward a shared goal while maintaining integrity, empathy, and accountability. We're fortunate to have real estate professionals who have these characteristics. We're proud to announce the following REALTOR® and affiliate members who were accepted into the program this year.

Our Leadership Program was established in 2004, during which time our board agreed developing leaders within our industry was crucial. This unique educational opportunity is not only about enhancing industry knowledge and leadership skills; it's also about building relationships and giving back to the community. We’re excited to share their journey in an article in our Member Guide & Affiliate Directory to be published in April 2023.
