Staci Caplan, Broker for Sterling Properties, is proud to announce that her mother, Diana Bull, was recently named REALTOR Emeritus by the National Association of REALTORS (NAR) at their Board of Directors meetings in Anaheim, California. The award was given to commemorate Diana’s membership in the National Association of REALTORS for 40 years. Diana is a Broker-Associate with Sterling Properties.
According to Staci Caplan, “My mother has been a role-model REALTOR for over forty years. She was the first female Treasurer for the California Association of REALTORS (CAR). When Diana served as President of CAR in 1999, she appointed numerous women to leadership positions and that culture is maintained today.” She was then named ‘California REALTOR of the Year.’
In 2010, Diana Bull was inducted into the NAR Hall of Fame. She is the first REALTOR from Santa Barbara to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. In 2008, the Pacific Coast Business Times named Diana to be among the “Top Fifty Women in Business.” In 2007, the Santa Barbara Hispanic Chamber of Commerce presented Diana Bull with the “Business Leader/Mentor of the Year” award.
This year Diana will be Chairman of NAR’s Risk Management Committee. Locally, she is President of the Santa Barbara Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners.
According to Staci Caplan, “My mother is acknowledged in ‘Who’s Who of American Women’, won the ‘Santa Barbara Boss of the Year Award,’ and is a life-time member of the California Scholarship Foundation. My mother’s personal and professional mantra is ‘to always give 110%.” My mother has lived that mantra in all she does and, certainly, in raising my sister, Stephanie Trager, and me.”
