Eligibility Criteria

  • Nominees must be members of BTVAR in good standing.
  • Nominees should have contributed to a program that improves the livability of the community. Those activities aren’t limited to real estate or housing issues, and may include such things as crime prevention, youth mentoring, homelessness prevention, fundraising for charities, etc.
  • Nominees should have made a significant contribution of personal time, but contributions of money, materials or other resources will be considered.
