President Debi Mackey and the 2022 CCAR Board of Directors were sworn into office on Saturday night at the Association’s 101^st Annual Inaugural Celebration at Blackhawk Auto Museum. Featured guests included Master of Ceremonies Mark Ibanez (Channel 2 Sports) and Dave Walsh, immediate Past-President of C.A.R., who served as the installing officer. In keeping with the Harley Davidson/motorcycle theme of the evening, biker Spike* also made a surprise appearance in the program to help Debi pay special tribute to CEO Sheiren Diaz and staff.

In her acceptance speech President Mackey explained, “One of my main goals this year is to bring us all closer together.”

“The inaugural is themed with motorcycles because it has a special meaning to me; it is one of my passions and offers a sisterhood and brotherhood like no other. When we ride, no matter what bike you ride or what group you ride in, when we pass each other on the road we always give each other a peace sign, a nod or wave. We do that because as bikers we care about our sisters and brothers on the road. That’s what I want for CCAR: to form a REALTOR® sisterhood and brotherhood,” she said; concluding, “Please help me help you make the most out of 2022!”
