INFORMATION & RESOURCES
Staying on top means staying in touch.  So, WCR brings you a range of valuable, up-to-the-minute sources of information.
Connections
As the official voice of WCR, Connections magazine is packed with timely, practical articles on topics like selling and marketing, financial planning and professional growth - all written by experts in the field.  It's also a great source of news about WCR. 
www.wcr.org
Want to send and receive referrals by e-mail?  Network on-line with a community of supportive and committed professionals?  Look up another member's e-mail or home page address?  Just point your Internet browser to http://www.wcr.org and you'll have all of this at your fingertips.  Plus as a WCR member, you'll be able to access MOCA (Members Only Conferencing Area) where you can participate in discussion groups or drop in to the on-line Referral Center.  It's a whole new reason to be a member.
Support System
As a WCR member, you'll join over 15,000 other motivated professionals who know that you're never too experienced to learn something new, or too successful to provide some sound advice.  That's the heart of the WCR support system - talented REALTORS® in your market and around the country who are there to cheer you on, lend an ear when you need one and ask for a little of your wisdom, as well.

NETWORKING & REFERRALS
At the heart of everything we do at WCR is a belief that by working together, our members are more successful than they would be alone.  So your WCR membership opens up a world of networking and referral opportunities, including local and state chapter meetings, workshops and special events.
Referral Network and the Referral Roster
Ask a WCR member what the most valuable benefit of their membership is, and, chances are, most will say "referrals".  In a recent survey, 60 percent of our members reported using the referral network in the last two years.  What does that mean for WCR members?  It means that, each year, our members receive over $100 million in commissions just from the WCR network.
The backbone of our referral network is WCR's annual member directory, the Referral Roster.  It's your link to tens of thousands nationwide who are ready and willing to put qualified referrals in your hands.  Your listing in the Roster is free with your membership. 
And additional advertising opportunities are available to increase your visibility even further.
Local, State and Regional Networking Opportunities
When you become a WCR member, you also become a member of your local WCR chapter, which regularly offers a number of business-building opportunities like roundtable discussions, featured speakers, marketing meetings, and other timely and topical events.  Those events complement our national referral network by providing face-to-face interaction and discussion with other professionals right in the community where you live and work.
Likewise,  WCR state and regional chapters also hold events designed to expand your business opportunites, develop your skills and talents and broaden your knowledge and know-how.  Finally, WCR holds two national meetings each year, during which members come together to conduct council business, participate in education programs and make contacts from all over the nation.
