The Presidential Awards are given annually to recognize those individuals that have gone above and beyond the bounds of simply volunteering to serve the association. Van Tassel was presented the award by HBA President Warren Smith at the association's Installation Dinner which took place on Dec. 9, 2010.

Among Van Tassel's noted accomplishments in 2010 was his service as the chair of Operation: Coming Home II, a joint volunteer project led by the HBA and the Triangle Real Estate and Construction Veterans (TREAC-V) that builds and donates homes for disabled combat veterans. In addition to Van Tassel's role in coordinating the project, Royal Oaks Building Group partnered with its vendors to donate the materials for the 2010 Hero Home to USMC Sgt. Stan Roberts, a member of the 2nd AAV in Camp Lejeune, N.C., and his wife, Crissy Roberts.

QUOTES:
"I accept this award on behalf of the entire Operation: Coming Home and Royal Oaks team," said Van Tassel. "There is power in numbers, and that is what I had behind me in 2010 as we set our focus on accomplishing our goals for Operation: Coming Home II. I have a supportive family, staff and fellow HBA members to thank for our success in receiving this award, and it will continue to be my pleasure to serve the association for many years to come."
