You are strongly encouraged to include photos, testimonials, and any other supportive information that would further enhance your submission.   Prize: The award winning Boards/Associations will receive a cash prize to the charity of their choice, and be recognized at the Installation Banquet at the MAR Annual conference.  The monetary awards: First Place - $10,000; 1st Place Recognition - $5,000; 2nd Place Recognition - $1,000.   Contact Hannah Sanders hannahsanders@smarweb.org with any questions.    [ Top ] REPA (Real Estate Professional Assistant Course) at SMAR!
