“It’s important for our industry to foster growth and career development among today’s emerging leaders,” says Jennifer Aunger-Ritchie, a REALTOR® from Smiths Falls, Ontario and the chair of OREA YPN. 

“By supporting and encouraging people who are new to the field, we all benefit because we position our industry for long-term success. Last year we had a terrific pool of candidates and we’d like to build on that momentum again this year.”

Award winners will have the opportunity to hone their leadership skills by sharing their personal success stories with members of their profession and the public through OREA events and media channels.  

OREA's Young Professionals Network (YPN) helps young REALTORS® excel by giving them the tools and encouragement to become involved in four core areas: associations, the real estate industry, peers and community.
