Illinois REALTORS® selected from among a number of hashtags to use throughout the year on social media.

The winner was revealed by 2016 IAR President Mike Drews at an inaugural gala held in Oak Brook Hills on Oct. 6, 2015. The winner was #IAR100YearsStrong.

The contest was part of several elements to a launch for IAR’s 100th anniversary in 2016. The association created a logo highlighting the anniversary, and special pins were distributed to guests to wear throughout the year.
