January 12, 2024 (Greenwich, CT) – The Greenwich Association of REALTORS® (GAR) Announced that Pam Cunconan of Coldwell Banker Realty is GAR’s REALTOR® of the Year for 2023.
The REALTOR® of the Year Award is among the highest honors presented to a member and is based upon leadership and contributions made to the Greenwich Association of REALTORS®, Connecticut Association of REALTORS®, National Association of REALTORS®, and the Greenwich community.
Pam has been a REALTOR® since 1997, and is actively involved as the chair of the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® 100 Year Celebration Task Force, which has implemented multi-faceted efforts to celebrate the organization's 100th Anniversary. Pam has been a driving force in transforming the record keeping process for archival items for the Association and MLS into the future, and throughout the process has uncovered some pivotal historical moments for the organizations. She has also lead the task force to plan various activities, events, and press releases to engage members and the community in the centennial festivities.
Cunconan previously served on the GAR & GMLS Board of Directors from 2017-2019, and throughout her tenure as a member, she has volunteered her time on the Professional Standards Committee beginning in 1998, 2000, 2001, the Education Committee in 1998, 2000, 2001, the MLS Committee in 2007, 2009, and the Grievance Committee from 2009-2022. As a member of GAR for over 26 years, Pam's involvement has also included active participation in association events and activities, coupled with selfless dedication to teaching ethics to new agents.
In addition to her professional endeavors, Pam is deeply committed to making a positive impact in the community. Her involvement in charitable outreach programs, such as Meals on Wheels, ABILIS and senior community endeavors, reflects a genuine concern for the well-being of others. Another program she has proudly volunteered for is called "Puppies Behind Bars". This program allows prisoners to train puppies to be service dogs during the week. Pam's job as a volunteer was to take the dogs out of the prison for socialization, including activities like train rides, visiting parks and social skills that they otherwise would not get exposure to those environments. Once trained, the dogs will be given to Vets or persons with special needs. Pam has also worked with Ukrainians learning to speak English.
"I'm proud to receive this honor and grateful to all those who came before me and so generously shared their knowledge and expertise. Let’s keep that tradition alive", stated Pam Cunconan.
Pam was presented with the award by Sally Parris, member of the Awards Committee. “As a mentor, this individual has left a permanent and positive mark on countless individuals. The guidance and wisdom have played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of many, embodying the qualities of a true leader by cultivating an environment of growth, professionalism, and camaraderie among peers," stated Sally Parris.
The award was announced to members at the GAR Annual Meeting on Friday, January 12th, which was hosted at the Greenwich Country Club.
