AGC Presents Judy Rapp with SIR Award
During the 2012 Annual Convention, the Inland Northwest AGC awarded Judy Rapp, Payne Financial Group, the S.I.R. Award. The highest honor bestowed by the association, the S.I.R. award is a lifetime achievement award standing for "Skill, Integrity and Responsibility."
“This is not an award we give out every year. In fact, the last time we awarded the S.I.R. Award was three years ago,” said Wayne Brokaw, executive director of the Inland Northwest AGC. “The award is given only when it is truly deserving undefined as in Judy’s case. She is an outstanding example of someone who understands the importance of service to her community.”
Judy has served both the association and the industry for many years. Currently serving as the associations Treasurer, she has also served as an associate Board member, education committee member and as an instructor for the AGC Education Center. One of the association’s biggest advocates, Judy never fails to promote the AGC to others in the industry and has always been willing to step-up and lend her time and energy to helping the AGC forward its mission.
