Committee Report - Greivance


Grievance Committee to produce  'Do's' and 'Don'ts' training video

By John Watkins, Chair
Grievance Committee

As this year's Grievance Committee Chair, I would like to share with our membership the mission, function and plans we are implementing in 2003.

The Grievance Committee is a standing committee of at least six Realtor® members.  Our committee is made up of 15 members this year. Committee members are appointed by the President, subject to confirmation by the Board of Directors, for 3-year terms.

The function of the Grievance Committee is to review ethics complaints and arbitration requests to determine if, taken as true on their face, a hearing is warranted.

Our plans incorporate the following:

  1. Improve the image of Realtors®.
  2. Enhance CBR's value and member perception of CBR's value.
  3. Increase ethical behavior
  4. Increase education opportunities for members.

"To be forewarned is to be forearmed"

Our goal for 2003 is to provide additional visual tools to the membership in two-forms.

  1. We plan to produce a video on the do's and don'ts of common mistakes that may result in an ethics or arbitration complaint for the membership as a training tool.
  2. We will expand our web site ColumbusRealtors.com with information on the grievance process so each member can ascertain information that may answer a number of questions in a given situation.

Knowledge is power!

I would like to thank all of the members of the committee for their service. I would also like to encourage each of you to serve on this or any other committee. After all this is our business.

Good selling to all in 2003!
