Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA), the ranking Republican member for the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, received NAREIT's 2007 Small Investor Empowerment Award at NAREIT's Washington Leadership Forum. Davis was recognized for introducing the Real Estate Investment Thrift Savings Act in Congress last year. Davis' committee held more hearings than any other congressional committee during the 109th Congress.
NAREIT's Small Investor Empowerment Award was established to recognize public servants committed to the ideals of free enterprise, personal freedom and unlimited opportunity for Americans. Previous recipients include Rep. Ben Cardin (D-MD), Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY).
