Bruce Sworik, past-president of the London and St. Thomas Association of Realtors and current chair of its Regional Commercial Council, was awarded CREA’s 2011 Pierre Beauchamps PAC Achievement Award at the national association’s Political Action Days recently.  The award recognizes Sworik’s achievements during his two-year stint (2009 and 2010) as LSTAR’s Government Relations chair. 

 “The work of individual PAC Reps is the foundation of CREA’s federal government relations program,” says LSTAR president Jack Lane, who accepted the award on Sworik’s behalf along with LSTAR’s current Government Relations chair Richard Thyssen. “That’s what makes this award so significant. The fact that it’s only given in years where CREA’s Federal  Affairs Committee deems that an individual deserves special recognition because of their initiative or effectiveness makes it that much more impressive.”
