IREM Greater Denver
receives innovation award
The IREM Greater Denver
Chapter received the IREM
Award for Innovation in recog-
nition of the chapter’s luncheon
entitled “Work Life Empower-
ment Series.” The award was
announced at the Institute of Real
Estate Management Leadership
and Legislative Summit in Wash-
ington, D.C.
In 2014, the Award for Innova-
tion was introduced by IREM in
order to acknowledge innovative
ideas, celebrate chapter accom-
plishments, and educate all chap-
ters on outstanding programs
and initiatives.
The 2014 empowerment series
slate of speakers included Jerry
Schemmel (voice of the Rockies),
Susie Wargin (Channel 9 sports
anchor), Tricia Downing and
Brandi Duncan. Denver mem-
bers and guests said they make
the lunches a priority because the
luncheons are an escape from the
mundane and an opportunity to
rethink priorities.
The Denver chapter said the
2015 luncheon series is maintain-
ing the attraction. The luncheons
are held at Del Frisco’s Steak
House, which restricts atten-
dance to about 70, making the
lunch a more intimate setting.

things we may be tempted to
say. We should develop the
habit of stopping and reflect-
ing before anything comes out
of our mouths. And we should
never do, write or say any-
thing that we will later regret.
I have found it best to smother
to death whatever is bothering
me until it is gone from me.
No good comes from letting off
steam.
3. Tolerance is the ability to
see another’s viewpoint. It is
good to possess tolerance and
patience, to see things from
another’s perspective.
4. We must not murmur or
indulge in self-pity and must
refuse to view ourselves as
victims. There is absolutely no
need to share any radioactivity
out of our resentments, unhap-
piness and uneasy spirit. We
can choose to be of good cheer.
Attitude makes all the differ-
ence in our daily lives, and we
control our attitude. Every day,
every moment, we choose to be
miserable or happy, content or
dissatisfied. For maximum hap-
piness, peace and contentment,
choose a positive attitude.
And now, as I am on the back
nine of life, and can clearly see
the clubhouse, I will continue
striving daily to cultivate an
even, unruffled temper, until
I can perfectly control myself
at all times, in all places and
under all circumstances, with
grace and utmost respect for
myself and others.s
