Community Service Committee

This is one of the hardest committees you’ll be proud to join because we concentrate on ways to serve our Northwest Ohio communities. That means selecting worthy recipients for our quarterly in-brokerage collection drive and promoting the cause to members. You’ll also have an opportunity to recruit members for volunteering projects including the Habitat for Humanity Playhouse Build.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee

Join the cultural conversations in Northwest Ohio about important diversity-related topics including education, exposure, and strategic partnerships. The DEI committee acknowledges the fact that we’re all in this together – and we can all do more to achieve its laudable goals, which include:

  • Promoting home ownership in minority populations in concert with local non-profit organizations.

Grievance Committee

Are you an objective person who believes in doing the right thing even when someone isn’t looking? The Grievance Committee could use your help reviewing ethics and arbitration complaints. The committee then votes to determine if the complaint should be heard by a panel of Professional Standards Committee Members.
