REALTORS and other members of the real estate profession can expect some new, interesting twists as they come together for one last time this year to thank those who have led professional associations and to usher in the new leadership for 2011. e Williamson County Association of REALTORS® will hold its Installation and Real Estate Industry Awards Gala at 6:30 p.m. on ursday, Dec. 2 at Bella Lago in Forest Creek in Round Rock—and will combine it with the annual Christmas Tree Auction. e Austin Board of REALTORS® will hold its annual Installation and Awards event at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 3 at the Austin Country Club. Representatives from both organizations have been busy planning the events and are eager to give Realty Line readers a preview of what to expect and explain why some of the changes are being made. “When incoming president Judith Bundschuh came to me with the idea of a brunch rather than a big gala I was all for it,” says ABoR installation chair David Burton of Austin Suburban Properties. “We wanted to honor those who served in 2010 and install our incoming officers but keep it simple. ese are tight times for everyone
