Young Professionals Council - December 2009

Did you attend the YPC CanTree Fundraiser – Dancing Through the Decades? If not, you missed a fantastic event! Aside from enjoying great wines with tastings offered by Carvalho Family Winery, Revolution Wines, and Ehrhardt Estates; delicious food provided by BJ’s Brewery, Tokyo Fro’s, and Zocalo; dance music mixed by our very own DJ Rico Rivera; and a silent auction with items provided by numerous local donors, everyone had a great time…AND we raised over $4,000 for the Christmas CanTree!

On another note – It’s official! Recently our Young Professionals Council received word that it has been officially recognized by the National Association of REALTORS® as the Sacramento Chapter of its Young Professionals Network. I have had the chance to meet the leadership of other NAR YPN chapters at various events this year, and there are going to be some fantastic offerings from YPN in the time to come.

Reflecting on 2009, I am extremely proud of what our Young Professionals Council has accomplished! We have raised thousands of dollars for charitable causes, and have given REALTORS® and Affiliates a forum to network and exchange ideas. Did you know that we have been able to engage hundreds of SAR members at our forums and events? I am very much looking forward to being your YPC Chair in 2010 and I know that Nikki Chapman is also looking forward to being YPC Vice-Chair.

YPC will be releasing its 2010 events calendar very soon, so please be watching for it. It will include the schedule for all of our monthly forums, informal happy hours, and our fundraising events.
