BETTER EDUCATED, ACTIVE MEMBERS SERVE THEIR CLIENTS AND IN RETURN BRING CREDIT TO THEMSELVES AND THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY
REALTOR® Recognition
Honor Society
The primary purpose of the Honor Society is to encourage Board participation among members in order that they might be better educated, active members to serve their clients/customers and in return bring credit to themselves and the real estate industry. The program is designed for both the
newer REALTOR®,as well as those who have held membership for several years. It is intended to recognize those members who are actively participating in REALTOR® functions and events. In order to become a member of the Honor Society, members must qualify each year by obtaining 150 points.
Following the fifth consecutive year of membership, a member may miss one year without losing his/her five-year status. The Honor Society is designed to keep members active and involved, along with giving them recognition for their participation.
2022 Honor Society Working Form - The Honor Society Working Form is an aid in recording information throughout the year that will be needed to complete the Honor Society application, which is to be filled out and forwarded to GSSBR at a later date in 2023. You may attach this to your application to identify categories if you so choose.
2022 Honor Society Application for REALTORS® - for submission in 2023. Complete the entire application. If you total 150 or more points between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, you will qualify as a member of the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS® Honor Society.
2022 Honor Society Application for Affiliates - NHAR will be sending out, directly, the Honor Society Application for Affiliates to those that are NHAR Affiliates.
