Who We Are

Women's Council of NAREB

Founded in 1971, the Women's Council of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers is a non-profit organization that contributes to the growth and professional enhancement of its members and the various communities we serve. 


The Women’s Council represents the largest of NAREB’s eight affiliate organizations. The Mission of the Women’s Council is to elevate the standards of women in the real estate industry by encouraging leadership, education and the exchange of information through group learning techniques; and to provide an opportunity for women to increase their knowledge and expertise in all facets of real estate. 


As the strongest affiliate and education arm of our parent organization, National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), the Women's Council provides financial literacy education to the public, scholarships to youth, down payment assistance, leadership designations and networking opportunities to members. 


The Memphis chapter of Women’s Council of NAREB was founded in 2018 with the guidance of Sherita McCray, NAREB Memphis 2017-2018 president. With Demetris Mays-Graham as the founding president, the Memphis chapter was launched with 12 board members. 

National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB)

NAREB was formed in 1947 to secure equal housing opportunities regardless of race, creed, or color. NAREB has advocated for legislation and supported or instigated legal challenges that ensure fair housing, sustainable homeownership, and access to credit for Black Americans. Simultaneously, NAREB advocates for and promotes access to business opportunities for Black real estate professionals in each real estate discipline.  From the past to the present, NAREB remains an association proud of its history, dedicated to its chosen struggle, and unrelenting in its pursuit of the REALTIST®’s mission/vision embedded goal, “Democracy in Housing.” As the nation's oldest trade organization, NAREB's purpose is to enhance the professional and business conditions of NAREB Realtist members by strengthening the consumer capacity of Black, minority, and emerging target market segments that Realtist serve. Further, we seek to promote the real estate industry in general, utilizing economic, political, legal and social leverage to remediate disparate and discriminatory housing and property ownerships policies and practices prevailing in the United States.
