At one point or another, Burtness has served on almost every NACRC committee.

Burtness’s influence on the industry extends far beyond NACRC. His colleagues comment on his commitment, integrity and high standard for professional character. His extensive wisdom and knowledge exemplifies leadership, without dictating. His constituents in Washoe County, his peers in Nevada and across the United States value his opinion in just about every matter.  His attendance, intimate support, and participation by serving on the boards of various organizations, and his involvement in their educational conferences, positions him as a valuable source of information.  He has a zeal for knowledge and his varied experiences in both the public and private sectors make him a well-deserving recipient of the Linda S. Carter Award.
