Fundraising for the central Ohio REALTORS® PAC is planned and carried out each year by members of the CORPAC Fundraising Committee. CORPAC proceeds are then distributed by the CORPAC Governing Board, who reviews current issues and interviews candidates, making recommendations accordingly as to financial support.
