BIO & HISTORY<br />

MADAM<br />

<strong>Iris</strong>Yateman<br />

FOUNDER<br />

WOMEN’S COUNCIL OF NAREB<br />

The late <strong>Iris</strong> Yateman, born on October 7, 1919, in<br />

<strong>Indiana</strong>polis, <strong>Indiana</strong>, was a trailblazer in the real<br />

estate industry and a dedicated community leader.<br />

The youngest <strong>of</strong> three siblings with two older<br />

brothers, <strong>Iris</strong> attended <strong>Indiana</strong>polis Public School #46<br />

and graduated from Crispus Attucks High School class <strong>of</strong><br />

1936. She later founded and served as the historian <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Crispus Attucks Alumni Club. It was at Attacks where she nurtured her love for music. A<br />

talented singer, <strong>Iris</strong> auditioned for "The Tonight Show" with Jack Paar and was a dedicated<br />

member and president <strong>of</strong> the Bethel AME Choir.<br />

Throughout her 81 years <strong>of</strong> life, <strong>Iris</strong> made a significant impact as one <strong>of</strong> the three founders<br />

<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Women's</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> the National Association <strong>of</strong> Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) in 1971<br />

at the National Convention in Atlanta, GA. She was a prominent member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Indiana</strong><br />

Association <strong>of</strong> Real Estate Brokers (IAREB), the local chapter <strong>of</strong> NAREB in <strong>Indiana</strong>polis,<br />

which promoted the value <strong>of</strong> Black real estate agents and informed the community through<br />

seminars that homeownership is possible. From 1975 to 1976, <strong>Iris</strong> served as president <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>Women's</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> NAREB and was an active member <strong>of</strong> the NAREB Executive Board.<br />

Her leadership was instrumental in bringing the NAREB annual convention to <strong>Indiana</strong>polis<br />

in 1974.<br />

In the 1940s, <strong>Iris</strong> worked as a licensed cosmetologist at Paris Beauty Salon on 27th and<br />

Northwestern Ave. She later transitioned into the real estate industry, becoming a licensed<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional in the 1960s and working in the field for over 40 years at her agency,<br />

Associated <strong>Realtist</strong>, located at 3534 N. Illinois. In addition to her real estate career, she<br />

owned a flower shop, <strong>Iris</strong> and Flowers, in the 1980s and was known as an exemplary talent<br />

in every pr<strong>of</strong>ession she pursued.<br />

<strong>Iris</strong> was married to her husband, best friend, and life partner Carl Yateman, for 33 years,<br />

and together they adopted a son, Carl Yateman, Jr., when he was three years old. <strong>Iris</strong><br />

Yateman's legacy is one <strong>of</strong> passion, leadership, and service. Her contributions to the<br />

<strong>Women's</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> NAREB and the <strong>Indiana</strong>polis community will continue to inspire<br />

current and future generations.<br />

HISTORY<br />

1<br />

8<br />

The genesis <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Women's</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> the National Association <strong>of</strong> Real Estate<br />

Brokers was born over forty-plus years ago. However, the vision and<br />

determination <strong>of</strong> a few women made the <strong>Council</strong> reality years after the<br />

inception <strong>of</strong> our national organization NAREB®.<br />

NAREB's history states that at their organizing meeting in Tampa, Florida, in<br />

1947, the following National Business League's Convention, there were twelve<br />

representatives from different states that committed themselves to the<br />

formulation <strong>of</strong> the National Association <strong>of</strong> Real Estate Brokers. Among those<br />

founders was a woman, Mrs. Naomi Black <strong>of</strong> Detroit, Michigan.<br />

A year later at the first NAREB® convention held in Atlantic City, New Jersey,<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the highlights <strong>of</strong> that convention was the role <strong>of</strong> women in the National<br />

Association <strong>of</strong> Real Estate Brokers. At that meeting, it was agreed that women<br />

brokers be recognized <strong>of</strong>ficially in two capacities. One <strong>of</strong> the women<br />

participated in the election process as <strong>of</strong>ficers and two as appointed <strong>of</strong>ficers in<br />

NAREB®.<br />

By the time the fifties roared in, women were joining NAREB at an alarming<br />

rate. The early fifties indeed gave women inspiration, confidence and hope<br />

for better business opportunities in real estate. It was within this period that<br />

the "Detroit Brokerettes" were formed. The Brokerettes were the "first"<br />

supported group <strong>of</strong> minority women bonding together to organize a women's<br />

group in real estate. Several members <strong>of</strong> the Brokerettes aided in the forming<br />

<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Women's</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> NAREB®.<br />

In 1971, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the NAREB’S Annual convention,<br />

Daisy Donavan <strong>of</strong> Detroit Michigan; Laura Seale <strong>of</strong> Brooklyn, New York, and<br />

<strong>Iris</strong> Yateman <strong>of</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong>polis, <strong>Indiana</strong><br />

founded the Women’s <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> the National Association <strong>of</strong> Real Estate<br />

Brokers. Officers and bylaws were established and Laura Seale became the<br />

first president <strong>of</strong> the Women’s <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> NAREB.<br />

Today, women comprise 53 percent <strong>of</strong> the National Association <strong>of</strong> Real Estate<br />

Broker's membership with women participating in all divisions and aspects <strong>of</strong><br />

the organization.
