EMTAR Members Shine at TN RPAC Awards, Day on the Hill
Our association was well represented at the 2022 Tennessee Excel Summit (TNEX), RPAC Awards and Day on the Hill last week in Nashville. Among the highlights: On Tuesday, we were honored with the 2021 Best RPAC Event award for Middle Tennessee! On Wednesday, many of our members attended TNEX sessions and meetings. On Thursday, we had the opportunity to meet with state legislators to discuss issues and bills important to our community and industry. Thanks to all who made it a very good week for EMTAR (as seen in the photo collage below)!
Bobby Wood Receives Tune Award from TREC
Last week during the TNEX conference, EMTAR member Bobby Wood was recognized and received the Bill Tune Award from the Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) in front of his REALTOR® peers from across the state. This prestigious award is only presented to individuals who represent the highest ideals of dedicated service and professionalism in Real Estate Education. Bobby has served as a TREC commissioner and a longtime advocate for his peers in the industry. Congratulations, Bobby!
