Professional recognition awards

Overview

The IREM Foundation recognizes outstanding individuals who make valuable contributions and show extraordinary dedication to the real estate management profession and, in so doing, enhance the stature of the profession.

Lloyd D. Hanford Sr. Distinguished Instructor Award – for outstanding contributions to the profession by serving as an IREM instructor

How to apply

Candidates for the awards have to be nominated by a CPM in good standing with IREM.
Nominators must submit a nomination form to the IREM Foundation.
Nominees will be notified by the IREM Foundation of their nomination and will be asked to submit a nomination form by June 17th.
