This Award is presented annually to the preceding year’s outstanding Graduate of the REALTOR® Institute. It is the only award this is presented by the Missouri Association of REALTORS® to an outstanding student.
In 1977, the Association established the Award in affectionate memory of longtime Joplin REALTOR® and 1963 MAR President, Brady Stevens. For many years, Mr. Stevens led the effort statewide to develop and promote truly professional real estate education. He believed that members who promoted professionalism in real estate practice, actively participated in REALTOR® organization affairs, and devoted themselves to ongoing professional development, should receive special recognition. The Brady Stevens Award honors Graduates of the REALTOR@ Institute who conduct their professional lives in the spirit of that tradition.
The Brady Stevens Award is presented at MAR’s Fall Business Conference.
