Four members of the Hampton Roads Realtors Association have been inducted into the Virginia Association of Realtors’ 2015-2016 Honor Society.

The local inductees are: Clyde Cooper Jr. of RE/MAX Alliance; Jo Cross of Long & Foster; Ann Palmateer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Towne Realty; and John Powell of Long & Foster.

Launched in 1990, the VAR Honor Society encourages participation in leadership and educational activities at the local, state and national levels of the Realtor organization, and recognizes about 100 members statewide annually for going above and beyond in their leadership and involvement.

Some honorees have received five-, 10-, 15- or 20-year recognition pins for consistent membership in the VAR Honor Society.

To qualify, an honoree must have a minimum of 100 points total, 30 of which must be for state association activity and attendance at any professional standards class.
