SBAOR Annual Awards and Installation Ceremony

The Santa Barbara Association of REALTORS® held their 113th annual Awards and Installation Ceremony to recognize leaders of the organization and introduce the officers and board of directors for the coming year. Traditionally marked with a luncheon at the Coral Casino, this year’s celebration looked different, of course, being held online via zoom instead of in person. The ceremony was held Thursday, December 10.

Outgoing 2020 President Staci Caplan was honored for her leadership. Caplan said that she “looks back on this year with a grateful heart,” taking pride in the association’s members for their “resilience and adaptability” during a challenging year. She also observed that one of the silver linings of this pandemic year is the “renewed focus on the importance of home.” Caplan bestowed her president’s award to the association’s CEO Bob Hart.
