Please join us in congratulating Joyce Varnell, Association Executive for the Athens-Limestone Association of REALTORS®, for receiving the 2021 Manie Barbour Association Executive Professional Excellence Award! This award recognizes a REALTOR® Association Executive who has exhibited consistently outstanding service to both the Alabama Association of REALTORS® and to staff members in Alabama’s local associations over a long period of time. This award is the highest honor bestowed by AAR on an association executive. 

Joyce has led the Athens-Limestone Association for over 12 years. Members say she surpasses her duties and responsibilities and serves with knowledge and respect for the members and organization. One of her many accomplishments as AE is when Joyce helped organize a fundraiser gathering over $11,000 for the Alabama Veterans Museum, which now houses an office named in honor of the Athens-Limestone Association. Outside her time at the office, she often volunteers to help around her community, as well. 

Congratulations, Joyce! Thank you for all you do for the members and Association!
