The New Brunswick Real Estate Association (NBREA) has bestowed this year’s Dave Hawkins Award on Pauline Sweezey, a Miramichi Realtor with more than 35 years of experience in the real estate industry.
The award is presented annually to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the real estate industry in New Brunswick.
Sweezey has been a leader in organized real estate at all levels – local, provincial and federal, says the association. She was president of the Northern New Brunswick Real Estate Board, president of the New Brunswick Real Estate Association and a member of the CREA Board of Directors.
“Pauline has a tremendous passion for the industry,” says NBREA president Kari McBride. “She has been a great advocator for real estate in New Brunswick and her professional resume and achievements only highlight that.”
Beyond her professional commitments, Sweezey has also been active in her community. She was awarded the Business Award of Excellence by the Miramichi Chamber of Commerce and was also the recipient of the Community Service Award for Volunteers by the City of Miramichi. In 2012, Pauline was also the recipient of the Paul Harris Fellow Award, which is the highest honour a Rotary Club can bestow. It is presented for “service above self” that an individual has offered to their community, their nation or the world.
