NMAR - Good Neighbor Award Nomination Form 2025

This award is to recognize a Realtor who has made an extraordinary impact on their community through their volunteer work. 

  1. Nominees must be members of the Northwest Montana Association of REALTORS® in good standing.
  2. Nominees must be contributing to a program that improves the livability of a community. Those activities aren't limited to real estate or housing issues. 
  3. Nominees should have made a significant contribution of personal time, but contributions of money, materials, or other resources will be considered by the judges as well. 
  4. Nominees will be judged on their level of personal contributions, impacts of their personal contribution, broadness of impact, and as a role model for other REALTORS®
  5. The award is intended to recognize individual contributions, not association-or company-wide efforts. However, if an individual 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) absolutely cannot be separated, they can enter as a pair and their entry will be considered as one entry.
  6. The nominee's community work must be current and on-going, but judges will also consider past efforts that demonstrate a 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. Nominators must use this form to be considered.
  9. REALTORS® may NOT nominate themselves.  They can ONLY be nominated by someone else, such as another NMAR member, a member of the public or the community organization they served. 
  10. Grant awards will only be issued to a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
  11. Nominations are for volunteers only-no paid staff or those who are monetarily compensated as part of their employment for their time/efforts will be considered.
