Award recipients were handpicked by members of each board after having been nominated by their peers.
“Both of our chapters serve as the primary resource for commercial brokers in the entire Hudson Valley region for marketing, collaboration and learning best practices,” said Jennifer Maher, 2021 president of the NYSCAR Greater Putnam Westchester chapter. “We congratulate all of the awardees who are actively engaged members of the NYSCAR community and exemplify what it means to be a top commercial agent.”
