Mission of Women's Council of REALTORS® We are a network of successful REALTORS® empowering women to exercise their potential as entrepreneurs and industry leaders. Founded in 1938 and currently one of the largest women’s organizations in the country, the Women’s Council of REALTORS® is a professional organization dedicated to the men and women working within the real estate and affiliated industries. The WCR stands for professional excellence, both in the operation of our organization and in the achievements of our members, who are role models for others in the profession. We are committed to the growth and development of members leadership abilities. We believe that the value of WCR membership is increased through participation. WCR publishes Communique and the Referral Roster. Communique is particularly unique in that it offers articles on business and personal growth topics specifically targeted to real estate professionals, especially women.
