Today I attended the King County Realtor's Association First Citizen Scholarship and Award Banquet in Seattle, where I was a recipient of the First Citizen Scholarship for the second consecutive year! It is such an incredible honor to be chosen as a recipient of this scholarship, and to have been among some of Washington's most significant innovators, philanthropists, and previous First Citizen Award recipients. Among these individuals were Slade Gorton (former governor and U.S. Senator), Herb M. Bridge (Mary Bridge Hospital), The McCaw Family (McCaw Hall), and the 2013 First Citizen Award recipient Mr. Lenny Wilkens (Former NBA player, coach, and legend!).
It was such an honor to meet Mr. Wilkens and to get a photo with him (pictured below).
Attached are the links to read the list of First Citizen Scholarship recipients (look for my name!) and to learn more about the 2013 First Citizen Award recipient Lenny Wilkens, as well as information regarding the Realtors Scholarship Program:
