Patti Blaschka Wins 1st Annual Jack Ryan Community Service Award

January 2020 (Milwaukee, WI) Robertson Ryan & Associates presented their 1st Annual Jack Ryan Community Service Award during their Holiday Luncheon in December. The award is established in honor of one of our illustrious founders, Jack Ryan, whose inclusive vision is one we carry on today. At Robertson Ryan we make it a priority to volunteer and donate to local non-profits. Collectively we recognize our business is about people and the communities we serve. It is our shared goal to make wide reaching and positive impacts where we live and work.

Milwaukee-based Agent, Patti Blaschka, is the inaugural winner. The Jack Ryan Community Service Award recognizes Patti for her excellence in the community. Patti’s dedication to animal welfare, both locally and nationally, as well as her commitment to the commercial real estate industry and her overall support of community, non-profits and people in general have earned her this badge. Patti received multiple nominations from her peers.

”My volunteer work is extremely rewarding, especially supporting the staff and people who work in the animal community every day. They have a high rate of compassion fatigue, given what they see and do every day. I want to be a bright spot to all of their work and remind them why they are doing what they do. Being able to give back monetarily relieves some of the budgetary pressure they also have to deal with,” said Patti Blaschka. Some of Patti’s community service endeavors include:
