Ohio Foreclosure Intervention Specialist Association's History

The Association was organized in 2006 as a continuation of the collaborative spirit of the Foreclosure Intervention Specialist (FIS) training class conducted in Medina, Ohio in the spring of 2006 by Home Ownership Matters owner and instructor Mildred Wilkins.  The students agreed to meet after the class was over to discuss how they could help each other and the general public with foreclosure problems.  After two meetings it became clear that an association geared for professional development of its members in addition to helping the general public was needed.  Therefore, the formation of an Association was proposed to the meeting attendees whom became charter members and unanimously adopted the by-laws in August 2006.
