Squires is the Broker/Owner of RE/MAX First in Baton Rouge, La. and RE/MAX First in Gonzales, La. and was among an estimated 6,000 fellow RE/MAX members who attended the event.
The RE/MAX International Broker/Owner of the Year Award is presented to a RE/MAX office owner who has shown exemplary skill in the operation of an office. Joining RE/MAX in 1993, Squires operates 2 offices in the Baton Rouge and Gonzales areas with more than 100 agents.

"I was surprised and pleased for the honor of being recognized for the state of Louisiana," says Squires. When asked by the RE/MAX Times what she does for her agents, Wynona replied, "I do everything!" In reflecting on this statement, Squires feels strongly that her best attribute is listening to the agents' needs and suggestions. Squires states, "After all, the firm is only as good as the agents. The agents make the company. The office is team-oriented and each person is very important. A special thanks to each and every member of the RE/MAX First team of Baton Rouge and Ascension. I appreciate you all."
