Arizona REALTORS® is proud to announce the formation of a new award that will recognize a past or current Arizona REALTORS® Professional Standards Committee member who exhibits a passion for professional standards through exceptional service, commitment, preparation, and leadership.

The award is named in honor of Mary Lee Greason, an Arizona REALTOR® who in addition to being an outstanding instructor, served for many years on both the Tucson Professional Standards Committee and the Arizona REALTORS® Professional Standards Committee.

Arizona REALTORS® do not apply for this award. Instead, nominations must be submitted by a REALTOR® association or by an individual Arizona REALTOR®. Recipients of the award will be jointly selected by the current Chairs of both the Professional Standards Committee and the Risk Management Committee. The award is not required to be presented on an annual basis. Rather, the award will be presented only when a deserving individual is nominated and approved. There can be no more than one recipient in a calendar year.

All nominations must be submitted no later than November 1st, with the award being presented at the following year’s annual Arizona REALTORS® Professional Standards Workshop. No specific form is required to be used to nominate an Arizona REALTOR® for this award, but the nomination should explain why the applicant is considered to be a worthy recipient. Specific factors that will be considered include, but are not limited to, length of service, roles in leadership positions, diversity of roles within the Professional Standards Committee, and contributions made.

Do you know someone worthy of receiving the Mary Lee Greason Excellence in Professional Standards Award? If so, please email your nomination to scottdrucker@aaronline.com prior to November 1st.
