What does stepping into leadership actually do for your business?
For many members of the REALTOR® Alliance of Greater Cincinnati (RAGC) and CincyMLS, serving on the Board of Directors is more than a professional milestone—it’s a turning point.
In our new My Why series, we’re highlighting real stories from leaders who chose to step forward. In our first spotlight, 2026 Treasurer Lee Sokolis shares how her experience on the RAGC/CincyMLS Board of Directors expanded her network, strengthened her voice in the industry, and opened doors she didn’t expect.
Her story reflects something many top-performing agents and brokers already understand: growth doesn’t just come from working in your business—it comes from positioning yourself within the conversations that shape it.
Serving on the Board isn’t just a title.
It’s a seat at the table where relationships are built, insights are shared, and decisions are made that directly impact your day-to-day business and the future of our industry.
The members who step into these roles aren’t just participating—they’re gaining visibility, building strategic relationships, and bringing valuable insight back to their clients and colleagues.
Board of Director applications open Monday, May 18.
If you—or someone on your team—are serious about business growth, leadership development, and making a lasting impact, this is your next step.
