December marks a time for change
T
he holiday season has poignant meaning for me. I love the changing leaves and cooler temperature. I love how the celebrations roll out from Halloween to Thanksgiving, and for my family, Christmas. Those who know me, get how I fully embrace the spirit of Christmas because for me, it means family, friends, and fellowship. That spirit, heightened for the holidays, carries over to our Association as we install our new leadership. It is with great thanks and excitement that I welcome Gary Cocanougher as the 2014 president of WCREALTORS. Many will recognize that he is also a past-president and spearheaded the construction of our Association building. He has a strong love and commitment towards Williamson County, and it will be evident as he leads us through 2014. Jack Stapleton is our president-elect, and he is known throughout Central Texas for his efforts on the ACTRIS committee, as well as the 2012 REALTOR of the Year recipient. He is the type of man that when asked for some-

thing, it is done immediately. He will be an amazing leader of WCREALTORS in 2015. Shavonne Jenkins is one of the REALTOR of the Year 2013 nominees and will continue as treasurer. I have personally worked side by side with Shavonne and can attest to her gifts of volunteerism. She has been a member and chaired numerous committees at WCREALTORS, and her insight has proven to be invaluable. Greg Hodge will be secretary, and he has already made a huge impact, not just with WCREALTORS, but throughout Williamson County and at TAR as he championed water issues on our behalf. He put together discussion panels featuring key players within the water debate and has kept us greatly informed on all aspects of this hot topic. Each of these REALTORS carries with them the spirit that I mentioned above. They excel in their field, give back to their association, and love the community they serve. Their gifts combined will lead Williamson County Association of REALTORS to new
