NDHC works with other groups to help out the community with programs such as Meals on Wheels, after-school programs, free flu shots and recreational activities.

The winners will be presented a crystal trophy at the 2015 Realtors Conference and Expo in San Diego. In addition, winners will receive a $10,000 grant for their charity, and will be featured in the November/December issue of Realtor Magazine.

Other winners of the award include Nancy Hines, John Kersten, Barbra Mills and Susan Stearns.
