June 2016 EWI Newsletter - Executive Women International
CHARTERED 1957 HOUSTON EDITION June 2016 President’s Message Life is not an emergency . . . it just feels like one! With the beginning of summer, things will begin to slow down and dry out [hopefully]. School is out. It’s vacation season. The heat is here and traffic is a bit lighter. We’re truly into the lazy days of summer, and it’s a good time to reflect on our own friend and family connections. I recently got to go back to South Padre with my beach group for a week of relaxing and good times. We have been going to South Padre for about eleven years and this was my eighth year to go. Each year I learn more things about my good friends and their families. When I returned home my daughter was in for over a week and you know how much I love having her home. Linda Petticrew, Our lives are all about family. Your family is the story of who you are and Shell Energy Resources Company where you came from. Ideals and beliefs change, but this is the blueprint for your belief system and all that you are. It’s the origin of your actions and reactions. Summer is a good time to take a moment and discover who you are. Pause a minute. Write it down. Your legacy will nurture you and your loved ones. Your written words will fill the holes in their hearts and the gaps in their histories. They will know and remember you through your stories. Today more than ever our loved ones and the world need our wisdom. If our lives are to have lasting meaning, we must use them as a sacred link, consciously connecting the past and the future. Count your blessings. wonderful Summer! Connect. Live large, be thankful, and have a Thursday, June 9, is a very special meeting where we will recognize our Past Presidents. From the Chapter’s beginning in 1957, a long line of key professionals has helped mold and guide Houston into the largest and most successful chapter within EWI. I encourage you to thank each of these outstanding women personally at the meeting and get involved in your assigned committees. You will receive an immeasurable amount of satisfaction knowing you helped your Chapter to help your community. In addition to recognizing our Past Presidents, we will also conduct a business meeting. This meeting will be held to elect delegates and alternate delegates for the annual meeting in September and to propose the slate of officers for next year plus we have an excellent speaker whom you will not want to miss!

Jones Photography Our 2015-2016 President, Linda Petticrew, representing Shell Energy Resources, opened the evening by thanking John Daugherty, Realtors (JDR) for hosting this firm night at Maggiano’s Little Italy in the Galleria area and extended a warm welcome to the executives and guests in attendance. She began with her “This Day in History” facts that have become a fun way to start off the evening. Most notably mentioned was that on this day in 1935 Alcoholics Anonymous was founded which was greeted by a round of laughter and “Cheers” was heard from several tables! Shari Schiffman with John Daugherty, Realtors greeted and thanked everyone for attending and introduced her table of JDR employees in attendance. She shared a quick welcome video from her executive, Cheri Fama, who could not attend due to her daughter’s graduation from Baylor. Carole Pitts then thanked everyone for attending and advised that John Daugherty had planned on doing an introductory video. However, the day of the shoot he was not feeling well and sounded like a frog! Therefore Carole read his speech to the audience. John stated that while he regretted that he and Cheri Fama could not be in attendance, we were in the good hands of Debbie Youens who was going to speak on behalf of the company. Daugherty went on to say that, “All of us are proud to a part of EWI. I have always believed in giving back to our community and EWI shares that belief.” Carole then introduced Debbie who is a sales manager for John Daugherty, Realtors. She is relatively new joining the company in November 2014 but quickly fit right in with her strong level of customer service, a must within the company. Debbie took the podium and stated “Hi, so you get me . . . and I’m the one who you never know what they are going to say. So they should be concerned!” She told us that real estate is now global and at your fingertips. JDR is part of a global affiliation of 600 premiere real estate firms, 4000 offices with over 120 sales associates in 40 countries. Luxury Portfolio is also an exclusive branch featuring million dollar plus properties in its 200 member network. Also Mayfair International Realty, an actual brick and mortar store located in London. John is a native Houstonian and started the company 49 years and two months ago. Back then you did not take classes or exams to become a Realtor, you just went down and bought a license. He decided to start a business in a real estate office where professionals were key. He wanted to make sure that the managers were not working against the company’s agents. They pride themselves on the training that they offer and have trained many of the Realtors that are in the market today.

Houston. Housing is affordable and our market had continued to boom despite fluctuations in the economy. JDR has experienced the best April in over 49 years in existence. She shared some stats from the past year. JDR is inHouston, but we also go to all four corners of the globe. A JDR promo was then played which ran before each episode of Downton Abbey’s last season.
