considered worthy of such
recognition and to join the
ranks of such prominent
past recipients. I proudly
accept it knowing well the
legacy of my service to the
association and industry at

RISING STAR AWARD
“Receiving the Rising Star Award
is nothing short of inspiring and
humbling. Being among such
a diverse group of REALTORS®
that share the same passion
and creative thinking challenges me every day
to try new things, become a better leader than
yesterday, and to never settle for complacency.
I had a blast in 2017, and I enjoyed seeing what
the association and all its members accomplished
together. This award is not for me, but for
all those who serve our association to implement
growth, education, and involvement well past
our day-to-day jobs."

who were all amazing and ready to help at any time.”
