2021 CCAR Board Inducted at Zoom Inaugural Celebration
Distinguished Service Awards go to Rob Baldwin, Jeffrey Wright, Dean Langston and Elizabeth Johnson
CCAR celebrated a very unconventional 100th annual inaugural ceremony last week in honor of incoming President Greg Souza and the 2021 Board of Directors. More than 250 members participated in the virtual Zoom event hosted by Mark Ibanez, Sports Director for KTVU Channel 2. Honorary Emeritus member and industry icon Clark Wallace officiated the induction ceremonies and featured speaker Chester Santos, The International Man of MemoryTM wowed guests with his memory tips and tricks. A group of Contra Costa County officials also contributed to the program with special messages to CCAR members and the incoming Board.
Association awards were presented to four distinguished members who demonstrated outstanding service in 2020: Rob Baldwin (Century 21 MM) received the Realtor of the Year Award, Elizabeth Johnson (Johnson Law Firm) received the Affiliate of the Year Award, Jeffrey Wright (Managing Broker, Wright Realtors and Wricor Realty Advisors) received the Emeritus Member of the Year Award, and the President’s Community Service Award went to Dean Langston (Sales Manager/Loan Officer, Commerce Home Mortgage) for his exceptional service to Meals on Wheels, B. Walker Ranch and One Warm Coat. CCAR donated $4,500 to those charities on Dean’s behalf.

Fairhaven is a town every REALTOR® should visit. Online, that is. Fairhaven, a fair housing simulation training for REALTORS® that uses the power of storytelling to help members identify, prevent, and address discriminatory practices in real estate.
Inspired by real stories, this innovative online experience has agents work against the clock to sell homes in the fictional town of Fairhaven, while confronting discrimination in the homebuying process. Learners will also walk in the shoes of a homebuyer facing discrimination. The training provides customized feedback that learners can apply to daily business interactions.
