I recently attended the National Association of REALTORS Midyear meeting in Washington, D.C. On Friday at the RCE Leadership Luncheon I received the Bud Smith award. While it is a great honor, I feel particularly blessed to have our state AE, State President, State President-elect, State Treasurer, Board President, Board President-elect and my husband be there to celebrate with me. I feel supported and appreciate their leadership – it takes all of us working together to make good things happen!
This is what NAR says about the award:
To achieve induction into the Dr. Almon R. (Bud) Smith, RCE, AE Leadership Society, it must be demonstrated that nominees have brought credit to the profession of association management through their personal involvement in advancing the purposes of the organization at the local, state, or national level; provided leadership in ways that have benefited the organization, the members, or other association executives; or made other significant contributions that have advanced their organization in meaningful ways. Candidates must have a proven track record of identifying and sharing innovative ideas. Inductees will serve as role models for all association executives in these characteristics. In addition, the Recommendations and Recognition Subcommittee will place strong emphasis on candidates with the RCE and/or CAE designations.
