17 Nov Industry Leaders are Founders of J. Michael Keyworth Rising Tide Award
On November 2 at the RIMTA Annual Meeting & Celebration, a large crowd of industry members gathered to recognize Michael Keyworth with the first Rising Tide Award.
This new award, which will now be called the J. Michael Keyworth Rising Tide Award, is presented by RIMTA to an individual who has effected positive and lasting change for our statewide industry as a whole, a person whose efforts embody the phrase, “A rising tide lifts all boats.”
This award not only has an illustrious first recipient; it also has an illustrious list of founders who banded together to help RIMTA create this meritorious award. Please join us in thanking them all.
