Anita Robinson Spirit Award

In June, 2003, the West Metro Board lost a vital part of our REALTOR® family when we lost Anita Robinson in a tragic car accident. We miss her deeply, but remember with fondness her love for life, family, and community. This award is open to any REALTOR® who exemplifies Anita's spirit by displaying constant community and board involvement, a willingness to lend a helping hand, and who has superb working relations with their fellow REALTORS®.

This award recognizes a member who has demonstrated REALTOR® spirit, upheld the principles of the Code of Ethics, promoted good real estate practices, and shown leadership through business accomplishments, civic involvement, and participation at the local, state, and national REALTOR® association levels. The nominee shall have established a standard of excellence that reflects positively on the REALTOR® organization, fellow members, clients, and the general public.
