Echoes Don Wilkerson, CPM, IREM president, with Gaston & Wilkerson Management, AMO, in Reno, Nev.: “I’m so proud that IREM is able to honor the remarkable work that is being done in real estate management, along with those who are doing it,” says Wilkerson. “The REME Awards truly showcase those who are innovative, forward thinking and making a difference in their communities and businesses.”
The REME Award winners will be announced and recognized at the Inaugural Gala Dinner and REME Awards celebration, during the 2019 IREM Global Summit. The gala takes place on Sept. 26 in San Francisco.
