2014 Clifford P. Weaver Award
Clifford P. Weaver died November 15, 1975, in Moorea, Tahiti, where he had been conducting an S.E.C. meeting. Cliff often said his entire professional life changed the day he met Dick Reno. Weaver always felt that a sense of humor was essential in business and the business of living. He was quick to laugh at himself. He was once described as the “Kilometer Kid” after fishing in the Arctic Circle. One year after traveling over 150,000 miles, mostly on business, some on fishing, he stated, “I am considered one of the best fishermen in the United States, but the catching is sometimes lousy!” He wrote prolifically for the Reno Real Estate News Observer and the articles he wrote 35 years ago are just as relevant today. In recognition of his outstanding contribution to the real estate investment and exchange profession during an all-too-short life, an Annual Memorial Award was set up for Cliff. The first trophy was awarded at the April, 1976 conference.
