About the award
Thomas William Henry Saunders (1903 -1977), known to all as simply "Bill", was an outstanding CREB® member who inspired many with his professional excellence and contributions to the community. After his passing, the board of directors created an award in his memory to continue inspiring real estate professionals to be the best they can be, giving back to both the industry and the greater community.
