2017 AWARDS CEREMONY
To celebrate our 2017 successes, we came together at HONU for our Annual Awards Ceremony! We had so much fun celebrating our amazing agents that have worked so hard to make Signature so successful. We also announced our newest Signature Cares project, Weekly Walk For A Cause, which is a 15 week initiative for each office to choose a cause close to their hearts to support in their local community. Congrats to all our winners and thank you ALL for your hard work!
