On December 3, 2020, Pamela Pinto presented the Saul Gresky Award - 

The Saul Gresky Award is annual honor presented to the relocation professional their excellence in service and contributions to the relocation industry.

This year’s recipient has become quite the chef during COVID.

When takeout is the meal of choice, you may find this person at a Mexican restaurant or Cowboy Chicken.

He..is also quite the world traveler, paying for his first adventure to the EU and Russia by working a couple of jobs to earn money during high school.

The travels have not been without memorable experiences.

He lost his parents temporarily in a foreign country with no ability to speak the language. He found them and put his heart back in his chest following a panic attack.

Our recipient grew up in the real estate industry in New Mexico and brought his talent to Texas where he became a leader throughout the Texas and National relocation industry.

He has an extensive service record with Worldwide ERC including positions as industry and advisory council member, review and advisory board member, committee member, webinar presenter and symposium speaker and panelist.

He received his fourth ERC distinguished service award, was honored at their 2015 national conference and admitted to their hall of leaders (in other words, he has his face in bronze.

I am pleased to add the 2020 Saul Gresky award to his list of honors. Please join me in congratulating ROB JOHNSON.
