Lifetime Achievement

The Lifetime Achievement Award was created in 2005 to recognize members for their outstanding sales production as well as their long-time commitment to the Columbus Board of REALTORS®. Charter Members In creating this pinnacle award, it was noted that there are members of the Columbus Board of REALTORS® who have made tremendous contributions to the organization over the years and who may not otherwise meet the new Lifetime Achievement Award criteria. In other words, these members were active at one time but may not be as involved now.

In consideration of those members, a task force was appointed by the Sales Advisory Committee to review a comprehensive list of potential award candidates. The list included all CBR members who have received the 25 Million Dollar Award to date and a partial listing of their committee activity.
