Schurig Center’s Board Chair Kim Strub Recognized Nationally

Schurig Center is thrilled to share that our volunteer Board Chair Kimberly Strub is one of five winners chosen for the National Association of Realtors^® Good Neighbor Award for her tireless work helping make life better for people with brain injuries.

The Good Neighbor Award recognizes REALTORS^® who make extraordinary commitments to improving the quality of life in their communities. The awards have been granted annually since 2000.

Over a decade of service as Schurig Center’s Board chair, Kim has raised $700,000, tripled both the organization’s reach and annual budget, and helped establish a concussion protocol for children in the Marin County school district.

Strub and the other four Good Neighbor Award winners will receive a $10,000 grant for their charity and will be featured in the November-December issue of Realtor^® Magazine. The recipients will also be presented with trophies on Saturday, November 9 at the 2019 Realtors^® Conference & Expo in San Francisco.
