REALTOR® of the Year
The REALTOR® of the Year award was first established in 1958 to recognize a REALTOR® who has contributed most to the advancement of his profession and the community at large during the current year. Subsequently, each individual so selected is recognized by the Louisiana REALTORS® at its annual meeting and by the National Association of REALTORS® at its annual convention.
Lawrence R. Demarcay, Jr. Distinguished Service Award
The Lawrence R. DeMarcay, Jr. Distinguished Service Award is given in honor of Lawrence R. DeMarcay, Jr., a distinguished Louisiana REALTOR® who served as President in 1982. It recognizes the member who has contributed greatly to the REALTOR® organization.
The Lawrence R. DeMarcay, Jr. Distinguished Service Award is not an award given every year, but when there is a qualified and deserving recipient, we present this award to that REALTOR® member who has provided guidance and leadership to this great organization.
