Circle of Excellence Time
Per the NJAR® Board of Directors meeting on September 15, 2009, the 2009 NJAR® Circle of Excellence Sales Award® Application was approved. Per the NJAR® Circle of Excellence Sales Award Committee report, the committee has decided to go green and therefore, NJAR® will no longer be using a printer to provide hard copies of this application to the local boards.
The applications are available on the NJAR® website for the membership.
To clarify a question that has been coming in, NJAR® will accept printed and hand written applications. The PDF is available for printing if the member would prefer to utilize that format rather than the online form on the NJAR® online forms website.
