Once again, Danberry associates will be at the helm of both local Boards of Realtors, as Al Nissen from Danberry’s Temperance office was installed as the Monroe County Association of Realtor’s President on December 3^rd.  This will be Al’s third tour of duty in that position (a term fitting for this military family).  We’re proud of Al and can’t think of an individual who has contributed more over the years to MCAR!  Brenda Braden, manager of the same Temperance office, was installed as both a Director of the Monroe County Association of Realtors and as a Director of the MLS Board at the banquet.  Under Brenda’s Chairmanship in 2010, the association’s RPAC Committee also achieved 159% of its goal set by MAR! We’re very proud of these professionals!
