KCRAR and HMLS enjoyed a wonderful Installation and Awards Ceremony on Jan. 28. Thanks to everyone who attended to recognize and honor our leaders and award recipients!

The Installation and Awards Ceremony is an honored tradition, made all the more special this year when Jerry Reece, the founder of J.D. Reece REALTORS® (which later merged to form Reece & Nichols) served as the Installing Officer to administer the oath of office for Renee Ryan-Edwards, CRS, CRB as she was installed at 2010 KCRAR President. Also installed were the 2010 Heartland MLS President, Jeff Carson, and the 2010 KCRAR and Heartland MLS Board of Directors. Outgoing KCRAR President Chris Collins, ABR, CRS, GRI, and HMLS President Susan Bowers received well-deserved thanks for their service, as did the 2009 Boards of Directors.
