At the December joint holiday breakfast given by North Texas Relocation Network and NTRP, last year’s recipient, Sandra Eh-lert, VP and Relocation Director of Allie Beth Allman and Associ-ates, presented this year’s Saul Gresky award to Nola Leverenz of Nelson Westerberg Inc. The Saul Gresky Award is presented annually to one corporate or re-location service provider profes-sional who best exemplifies the tradition of high customer ser-vice, makes a major contribution to the positive image of the relo-cation professional, and inspires cooperation and support among members of the reloca-tion industry.

Nola was an excellent choice for this year’s award. She has been an active volunteer and board member of the local ERC chap-ters since 1994. Nola has served as Outreach Chair, Spon-sorship Chair, Membership Chair, Newsletter Chair, Vice President, Advisory Chair, Presi-dent, Treasurer, and Co-President along with Jill Wylie in 2006 when the North Texas Re-location Council and the Dallas Relocation merged to become the North Texas Reloca-tion Professionals. Nola says "It's been a pleasure and joy to

be a part of these organizations. I have so much gratitude for the countless members who have encouraged, supported, and shared best practices in the goal to promote excellence in relo-cation."

Present for the award were Bob Akres, General Manager at Nelson Westerberg, and Tom Leverenz, Nola’s husband of 36 years. Tom and Nola were transferred to Dal-las from Madison, WI so Tom could work for Frito Lay. They live in Flower Mound.

The next time you see Nola, please congratulate her on this coveted and well deserved award.
