ERA Real Estate Launches The Hera Society To Advance Women Leadership Within The Network And Industry

New group to provide leadership development and networking to strengthen members’ impact on the industry and local communities

October 11, 2021 // FranchiseMarketingSolutions.com // MADISON, N.J. – ERA® Real Estate, a global franchising leader within the Realogy family of brands, announced the launch of the Hera Society, a new group within ERA® Real Estate with a mission to strengthen both the individual and collective impact women real estate leaders have on the network, in the industry and in the communities they serve. The Hera Society celebrated the launch with an inaugural event during Ignite 2021, ERA’s exclusive conference for affiliated broker/owners and managers.

Despite the strong history of women professionals in the real estate industry, there remain important opportunities to accelerate the advancement of women as brokerage owners and industry leaders. As a result, the ERA brand identified the need to create a dedicated platform to offer resources, ideas and mentorship opportunities to drive the success of affiliated women leaders now and in the future. Inspired by the name of the Greek goddess of women and families, the Hera Society will serve to help its members navigate the unique challenges to their professional growth, including financial fitness, leadership development and inclusion.

The Hera Society will feature several components to fuel engagement with its members, including:

ERA Event Integration – Hera Society’s first virtual event will be held in December, with future in-person and virtual events held throughout the year at events including Fuel, ERA’s global conference, and Ignite, ERA’s broker/owner and managers conference.
Leadership Workshops – Interactive workshops, held both virtually and in-person, will serve as forums for best practice sharing, business planning and mentorship.
Communications Channels – In addition to featuring content and highlighting leaders across the ERA brand’s social media channels, the Hera Society’s members will have exclusive access to a real-time communications platform to further encourage best practices and idea sharing beyond the leadership workshops.

“ERA has been a pillar of the industry for nearly 50 years. It is a network of collaborative leaders who have supported one another’s growth and success since the brand’s founding.

Building upon our strong foundation of exceptional women leaders within ERA and the support of Realogy through the What Moves Her platform, the Hera Society is well positioned to offer members unique leadership development opportunities, content and new areas of impact.”
