Additionally, RSAR presented its annual awards on Dec. 27 in a private virtual induction ceremony with members, honored guests and the Board of Directors. The 2020 awardees include:
REALTOR® of the Year – Angelica Reyes, Managing Broker of The Right Choice Realty. Reyes received this honor for her continuing high level of involvement in the Association, her business accomplishments and activity in local community affairs.
The Abraham Curry Award – Tiffany Banks, General Counsel for Nevada REALTORS®, and Rocky Finseth, President and CEO of the Carrara Group. Both Banks and Finseth worked to keep real estate essential, protect property rights and fight for pandemic relief for our community.
Educator of the Year – Helen Graham, REALTOR® for Haute Properties Nevada. Graham has received this honor multiple times over the past decade because she believes education is critical to all real estate agents’ careers.
The Mat Gibbons Good Neighbor Award – John Graham (awarded posthumously). Graham led the Association as President in 2017 and was a multi-faceted man who came to real estate as a second career.
In honor of both John and Helen Graham’s work in the REALTOR® community and the Reno-Sparks community at large, the 2020 Board of Directors created a scholarship for Nevada Youth Empowerment Project (NYEP). This new scholarship will help NYEP with education expenses.
The RSAR President’s Award is given out annually from the outgoing Association President. Erika Lamb, 2020 RSAR President, gave Sarah Scattini, 2020 RSAR Treasurer, the award this year. Lamb chose Scattini for her servant heart, her dedication to the Association over her career and her ability to keep a positive outlook during unprecedented times. Sarah will continue to serve the Association in the coming year as the 2021 President-Elect.
This year’s 2020 Award Winners are a small group who made a huge impact in 2020 and will continue to have a lasting impact on our community for years to come.
