Watson Realty Corp.™ Names New Leader for Watson Cares Group

Donna Overman, current Vice President/Managing Broker of the Watson Realty Corp.™ Mandarin North office, is named as chairperson for the company's Watson Cares program to support local charities.
 
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - April 4, 2013 - PRLog -- JACKSONVILLE, Fla.– Watson Realty Corp.™ announces a leadership change for the company’s charitable initiative, Watson Cares. Donna Overman, Vice President/Managing Broker of the Mandarin North office, is the new Watson Cares Council General Chair. Overman steps into the leadership role after serving on the Watson Cares Council in 2012. From the group’s beginning in the fall of 2009, Overman held the role as the Mandarin North Watson Cares office representative and was very involved in planning and implementing office charitable activities and supporting the Watson Cares Council on company-wide events.

Overman’s duties as General Chair include training the Council members and individual office representatives, coordinating communication and support to offices for local events, and acting as spokesperson for the group. With so many offices already involved in supporting local charities, Overman encourages all the 40 sales offices and additional company divisions to continue to pursue their passion for community service and to use the Watson Cares “banner” to fulfill that passion.

The Watson Cares initiative reports upcoming events of individual offices with the goal of getting neighboring offices, customers and the community involved to maximize the results for each charity. To date, Watson Realty Corp.™ (http://www.WatsonRealtyCorp.com) offices raised over $83K for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, $13K for Children’s Home Society, and donated hundreds of pounds of food and supplies to local food pantries. Additional events have been held to benefit other charitable organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, FL-GA Blood Alliance, Betty Griffin House,  local Humane Societies, USO, and many others from northeast and central Florida and St. Marys, Ga.

The company-wide effort for 2013 is an initiative started last year entitled, “Opening Doors, Feeding Neighbors.” This innovative program brings Realtors® together with anyone moving who would like to donate items from their kitchen pantries. Watson Cares is pleased to partner with home builder, DR Horton (www.DRHorton.com), who is sponsoring the collection tote bags this year. The filled bags are collected by Realtors® from the donors and picked up by Feeding America/Second Harvest (www.FeedingAmerica.org) to be delivered to local food banks.

The Watson Cares Council leadership for 2013 includes the following list of individuals which represent all regions of Watson Realty Corp.™

Jacksonville Region Chair—Sandi Wagner, Intracoastal office
North Central Region Chair—Donna Daigle, Middleburg office
