After a successful visit to the Capitol, our REALTORS® enjoyed live music and crawfish at a reception with their Legislators and peers. During this reception, REALTOR® of the Year and the Lawrence R. DeMarcay Distinguished Service Awards were presented. Congratulations to Bill Boyd on receiving the REALTOR® of the Year Award and to David McKey for receiving the Lawrence R.
