The Christy Black Volunteer of the Year (CBVOY) Award was established in 2021 to recognize Christy Black and honor a Collin County Area REALTORS® (CCAR) member who exemplifies Christy’s volunteer spirit. This annual award will only be bestowed when a nominated member meets all the eligibility criteria. If no nominations are received or the nominees do not meet the eligibility criteria, it is up to the discretion of the Executive Committee whether the award will be presented. *An ideal nominee will be considered when reviewing applications.

The CBVOY Award winner will receive $500 in their name to donate to charity of their choice, and they must choose the charity within three (3) months of receiving the award.

The CCAR Executive Committee will decide the winner before the upcoming years’ Installation of Officers & Directors. Nominees will be judged on how much they have contributed, how impactful their contributions have been, how wide-ranging their impact has been, and whether they are good role models within their community.

Nominations can be made by:

• Any CCAR member or CCAR staff;
• The Executive Committee members on the day of their meeting.
