The Mary Lee Greason Award is bestowed upon a past or current Arizona REALTORS® Professional Standards Committee member who exhibits a passion for professional standards through exceptional service, commitment, preparation, and leadership. Specific factors to be considered include length of service, roles in leadership positions, diversity of roles within the Professional Standards Committee, and contributions made. Past recipients include Larry Hibler, Marge Lindsay, Holly Eslinger, Duane Fouts, Ron Roberts, and Lisa Suarez.

This year’s recipient was Clark Jones. Since joining the Professional Standards Committee, he has served as a panel member on 16 hearings, chaired 27 ethics and arbitration hearings, and served as an Ombudsman 29 times.

Clark has been instrumental to the success of the Arizona REALTORS® Professional Standards program. He is a constant example of what it means to be a REALTOR® and shows an unwavering passion for professional standards and upholding the Code of Ethics.

Marge Lindsay expressed that, “Clark is a true example of a servant and volunteer member who gives his time, knowledge, dedication and caring to the Arizona REALTORS®. He never says no when he can help a member of the public, another REALTOR® or Association. He gives from his heart willingly and without expectation of recognition or praise.”

Lisa Suarez also expressed that, “Clark is deeply committed to the ethical practice of real estate and consistently reinforces a culture of excellence in serving as Chair, Mediator and Ombudsmen. His pledge of performance speaks volumes in ensuring principled conduct and honesty for all members and the public we serve.”

Needless to say, Clark is a worthy recipient of the Mary Lee Greason Award.

Congratulations Clark and thank you for your many years of service to the Arizona REALTORS® Professional Standards program.
