Congratulations to Shirley Kalvinsky, Associate Broker, for winning the Sussex County Association of REALTORS® (SCAOR) 2021 Educator of the Year Award! This award recognizes excellence in teaching by honoring the instructor who has made the most outstanding contributions to SCAOR's educational efforts. Shirley was surprised with this award while teaching a Zoom class. She had been nominated by several individuals, whose comments included, "Shirley's commitment to preparing new agents for the world of real estate during class and after class is incredible. Shirley is often contacted as a resource when agents have questions, and this speaks to the respect others have for her knowledge of our profession."
Shirley was previously named SCAOR's Educator of the Year in both 2008 and 2015. Regarding this year's award, she remarked, "Education has always been a prime focus in my life. From teaching women how to be legal secretaries to coordinating religious education teachers to participating in a long history of real estate education, I have always wanted to share my knowledge and experience. No matter what phase of my life I happen to be in, I always want to give back. Interaction through education with other REALTORS® resolving issues has helped me do that. I am humbled and grateful to be recognized as SCAOR’s 2021 Educator of the Year."
Thank you, Shirley, for the wonderful work you do for both our company and the wider Sussex County, Delaware, real estate industry. You are a truly invaluable asset to our area!
