Today’s Fire Up Chat is brought to you by the California Association of REALTOR® WomanUp Initiative. If you are a woman who owns or wants to own a brokerage or someone who believes in and supports women in brokerage ownership – THIS is the place to be to connect with your tribe and move things forward. Visit car.org/womanUP for details.
On today’s episode, I am chatting with a dear friend, fellow power woman, and the co-founder of the WomanUP movement, Sara Sutachan. We met on Facebook Live to have a conversation about the story behind the WomanUP™ Movement, what’s coming next, and how YOU can be part of it all!
A bit more on Sara:
Sara oversees industry and broker relations, membership development and strategic initiatives for the California Association of REALTORS®. She is closely involved in the Association’s strategic planning efforts and is a well-known speaker in California’s real estate community.
Sara is the co-creator of WomanUP!®, C.A.R.’s Women’s Initiative designed to close the gender gap in the leadership of real estate firms. In her passion to affect change in this arena, Sara is dedicated to the empowerment of women through research, professional development, events, mentoring, and creating a community of advocates and support.
Sara is also responsible for identifying, building, maintaining, and reaching out to California Brokers in order to gain insights and spot emerging trends in the industry. In this role, she helps the Association establish vision, identify new and emerging opportunities and relationships, and is responsible for implementing key strategic initiatives.
With a background in real estate finance and consumer research, she continues to provide significant input, analysis, economic theory and interpretation to housing market trends with specific emphasis on real estate finance.
