🏆 **Salesperson of the Year:** Thomas Howe

🏆 **Distinguished Service Award:** Roger Hower

🏆 **REALTOR® of the Year:** Ed Jaskinia

🏆 **Good Neighbor Award:** Don Wiltz

Today, on September 11, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed and the people who came together to help in the aftermath.

The REALTORS® Relief Foundation was created following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, when REALTORS® united to help families who had lost loved ones and needed assistance with housing expenses. What began as a response to one national tragedy has grown into 25 years of helping communities recover from disasters across the country.

Kansas REALTORS® is proud to continue supporting that mission during our All Member Mixer in Support of the REALTORS® Relief Foundation at Annual Conference on Thursday, October 8, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.

The mixer is open to all, with free food and drinks. Join us to connect with fellow REALTORS® and support a cause that has represented the REALTOR® community’s commitment to helping others for 25 years.
