## Story

The Gerry Brisson Ad Fund Memorial Award is presented annually to a Transworld Business Advisor office whose owner(s) and agent(s) demonstrate optimal use of Transworld’s Advertising Fund materials and embody the unwavering values, tenacity and dedication that defined the late Gerry Brisson, former President of Transworld Business Advisors of Houston. Known for his resilience, integrity and genuine desire to help others succeed, Brisson inspired those around him through his work and leadership. The Award honors those who reflect those same qualities and celebrating their commitment to excellence, perseverance and the drive to uplift others.

The Eastern NC office, led by Tony and Jarma Khoury, has actively embraced Advertising Fund initiatives, and turned them into meaningful growth opportunities, not simply checking boxes, but leveraging every available resource to drive results. A local example is their collaboration with Single Throw Marketing, a full-service digital marketing company operating at the local level. Rather than taking a passive approach, the Khourys adapted the program to their market and delivered measurable outcomes.

The team engages, executes and leads by example, while reflecting the spirit on which the Award was founded. Their commitment to excellence, willingness to put in the work and focus on building something larger than themselves sets a standard for the entire Transworld network.

“Tony and Jarma Khoury represent everything this Award stands for. They’t just participate in what’s available to them, they maximize it, adapt it to their market and drive real results. That kind of dedication and leadership is what elevates the entire Transworld network,” said JT Tatem, President of Transworld Business Advisors. “Gerry Brisson believed in showing up and putting in the work to help others succeed, and that’s exactly what Tony and Jarma do every day.”
