DENVER, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- RE/MAX, LLC
and RISMedia are pleased to announce Gary
Acosta, Co-Founder & CEO of the National Association of
Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP®), received
the "On the Shoulders of Giants" award during the RISMedia Power
Broker & Newsmaker Reception and Dinner on November 12 at the Marriott San Diego Marina in
California.
The "On the Shoulders of Giants" award was created to recognize
individuals whose efforts, works, deeds and character exemplify
superior achievements in and for the real estate industry, yet
whose efforts often go unnoticed.
As CEO of NAHREP, Acosta has been instrumental in its
development and growth, advancing the organization to become the
nation's largest Hispanic business association with over 40,000
members and more than 80 local chapters.
Acosta also created the Hispanic Wealth Project, a non-profit
organization aimed at tripling Hispanic household wealth by 2024.
Additionally, Acosta co-founded L'ATTITUDE, an annual event
celebrating the achievements of the Latino community and their
commitment to the economy.
"Gary is quite modest about the work he does. He doesn't do it
for the accolades or attention and that's what makes this award so
appropriate," says Mike Reagan,
RE/MAX Senior Vice President, Industry Relations and Global Growth
& Development. "Gary's commitment to the Latino community and
betterment of Hispanic business owners is influential to our
industry and the economy and we're proud to recognize him for these
important efforts."
RE/MAX has been a proud national partner of NAHREP since 2015
and has sponsored the "On the Shoulders of Giants" award, presented
in conjunction with RISMedia, for the past 15 years.
Previous "On the Shoulders of Giants" honorees include NAHREP
leader and RE/MAX Broker/Owner Daisy
Lopez-Cid, RE/MAX Alliance Broker/Owner Chuck Ochsner, and RE/MAX Co-Founder
Dave Liniger. Additionally, RE/MAX
Co-Founders Dave and Gail Liniger
were named 2021 Newsmaker Hall of Fame recipients at the Power
Broker and Newsmaker Dinner.
