GOOD NEIGHBOR AWARD RULES & ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Eligibility Criteria

1. Nominees must be members in good standing with Coeur d’Alene Regional REALTORS®.

2. Nominees should have made a significant impact as a volunteer for a nonprofit organization. Eligible activities are not limited to real estate or housing issues and may include volunteer work done overseas.

3. Nominees should have made a significant contribution of personal time, but contributions of money, materials, and other resources will also be considered by the judges.

4. Nominees will be judged on a level of personal contribution, impact of personal contribution, broadness of impact, and the project’s suitability as a role model for other REALTORS®.

5. The award is intended to recognize individual contributions, not association or company-wide efforts. If an individual within your company can be singled out as instrumental to the success of a group effort, he or she is eligible. If the achievements of two people (such as a married couple or co-founders of an organization) cannot be separated, they can enter as a pair and their entry will be considered as one.

6. Some portion of the nominee’s community work must have taken place during the timeframe specified on the application form, but judges will also consider ongoing efforts outside that timeframe that demonstrate the depth of commitment.

7. Nominees should be able to document the results of their individual involvement through published reports and/or testimonials from the organization they served or the people they helped.

8. Nominations must be accompanied by a completed entry form to be considered (REALTORS® may nominate themselves or may be nominated by another member, a local association executive, or the community organization they serve).
