From the desk of 2023 RRC President Pam Ruggeroli, CRS
It’s an absolute honor and privilege to step into my role as president of the Residential Real Estate Council. I’m excited for the upcoming year. Our entire leadership team and Board of Directors were all member-elected, which means the world to me, and I know it means the world to all of them, too. We are passionate about the CRS Designation and the Council—we want our members to have what they need to succeed. We are here to listen and help.
The theme of the Council’s year is “Inspire.” I chose this theme because I believe every single one of us can make a positive impact on someone else’s life. I wouldn’t be sitting in this seat today if it weren’t for the people who encouraged and inspired me to do more, be more and have more. I know that everyone who’s currently in a leadership role got there because someone else asked them to be there and encouraged and inspired them to do more. I want to impress upon our members that they can have that same positive impact on future leaders and future members.
Because I love giving back, it’s always been important I stay involved with the Council and RRC leadership. I started volunteering for the Council at the state level, serving as treasurer for the Arizona RRC in 2007, where I eventually worked my way up to holding the president’s role in 2009. From there, I served as the regional vice president for North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee from 2012–2015. I encourage all of you to get involved, whether it be with your local, state or national leadership. Getting involved made a huge impact on not only me, but also my profession and the success of my business.
I know we’re facing challenging times, but that’s when the cream rises to the top. We are CRSs. We represent a proven path to success. It’s our job to educate and inform the public and the consumer—our clients—about what’s happening in the market and what they can do to be successful. This is where we really start to shine. I see this year as a great opportunity to grow, reach out to our clients, help them understand the market and help them get to the next level, wherever that may be for them.
