classes – commercial, residential, or retail – and of all sizes, whether company scope is local,
regional, national, or global. Any employee of a company is eligible to submit on behalf of the
company.
The company does not need to be a member of IREM to submit for a REME Award.
Programs/initiatives being submitted need to have taken place within the 2015 – May 2017
timeframe.
Recognizing that programs/initiatives can change over time with new features and/or new
outcomes, programs/initiatives submitted for REME Awards in previous years can be resubmitted in
subsequent years.
Previous REME Award winners are not eligible to resubmit winning programs/initiatives for three
years after the winning year, e.g., if a program/initiative is an award-winner in 2016, the
program/initiative cannot be considered again until 2020, and must have new features and/or
outcomes that are recent at the time.
