From the desk of
CEO Cliff Long
Good Neighbor Awards are your
opportunity to shine in service
One of the elements
that impressed me the
most as I was making
the decision to become
ORRA’s CEO was the
association’s Good
Neighbor Awards program.
It makes me incredibly proud to work
with REALTORS® who have demonstrated
so much care for their communities.
ORLANDO REGIONAL REALTOR® ASSOCIATION
To date, we’ve recognized 21 Orlando
REALTORS® with a Good Neighbor Award
and contributed $16,500 to their charitable
organizations. Now its your turn. Apply for a
Good Neighbor Award!
ORRA’s Good Neighbor Awards, now in
its fourth year, seeks to recognize REALTORS
® who have made an impact on their
local community — or on the national or
world stage — through volunteer work.
Up to 10 finalists will be announced at
a special recognition event, and each will
receive $1,000 grants for their charities. The
winners will also be recognized in Orlando
REALTOR® magazine.
This year’s ORRA Good Neighbor Award
application deadline is 5 pm on Friday,
August 10, 2018. Nominees must be an
ORRA REALTOR® members. REALTORS® may
nominate themselves or may be nominated
by another ORRA REALTOR® member, an
ORRA affiliate member, or the community
organization they serve.
Applications will be available on
orlandorealtors.org in the coming months. I
hope you take the opportunity to apply and
earn both a little recognition for yourself and
a little cash for your favorite organization.
ACE Awards recognize CE hours
