Ohio REALTORS mourns the passing of Bob Fletcher
It is with great sadness that Ohio REALTORS shares the news of the passing of its former Chief Executive Officer Bob Fletcher.
For 27 years Bob played an integral role in advancing the interests and concerns of Ohio’s REALTORS at the state and national level, serving as chief lobbyist, senior vice president and then chief executive officer. Bob retired from the Association in 2018.
Recognized as one of the leading public policy experts in Ohio, Bob was awarded the “Green Jacket” by the Ohio House Republican Leadership in 1998, an annual award presented to an outstanding lobbyist. He also served as the president of the Ohio Lobbying Association. His expertise in the governmental affairs area was similarly recognized within the REALTOR organization when he was elected by his peers to serve as chairman of the National Association of REALTORS Government Affairs Directors Committee in 2002.
Bob was appointed by Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland in 2008 to serve on the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board, charged with oversight of the operation of the Ohio Statehouse and parking garage facility.
Civically, he served as Treasurer of the University Community Association, designed to promote homeownership and quality of life issues in the area surrounding The Ohio State University.
Fletch will be missed by those who knew and loved him.
