Awards & Recognition

Ed Anderson Political Achievement Award

In a 24/7 business like real estate, making time to be politically active on behalf of our industry requires extraordinary dedication. The Ed Anderson Political Achievement award annually honors a member for outstanding contributions in politics and public policy, both locally and nationally. 

The recipient will be announced and recognized at the 2024 UNITE! convention held in Duluth from September 25–26.

Nominations for the 2024 Ed Anderson Award closed on Friday, August 23.
