Nominees must be members in good standing of the Long Island Board of REALTORS® and the National Association of REALTORS®.

Nominees should have made a significant contribution of personal time, but contributions of money, materials, or other resources will be considered by the judges as well. A monetary donation alone – regardless of amount – is NOT sufficient.
Nominees will be judged on level of personal contribution, impact of personal contribution, and the nominee’s suitability as a role model for other REALTORS®.
The award is intended to recognize individual contributions, not association- or company-wide efforts.
Some portion of the nominee’s community work must have taken place between during the time period indicated, but judges will also consider ongoing efforts outside that time frame that demonstrate a depth of commitment.
REALTORS® may nominate themselves or may be nominated by someone else, such as another LIBOR member, a state or local association, or the community organization they served.
Grant will only be issued to a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

RSA recipient will be announced in November 2024.
