Court seeks volunteers for committee on foreclosure mediation
The Nevada Supreme Court's continuing efforts to improve the Foreclosure Mediation Program has led justices to establish an advisory committee to evaluate its "effectiveness, operation, policies and practices."
The high court has asked the all-volunteer committee to review the program's rules and research other state and federal foreclosure programs before making formal recommendations on how best to attack the housing crisis in Nevada, among the worst in the nation.
The application deadline is 5 p.m. Monday. Application forms are at www.foreclosuremediationnv.org.
The 14 members will be appointed to a 12-month term with the option of a second year. The justices are looking for people with specific skills or knowledge, such as current mediators; people who work for title companies or serve as a trustee on deeds; residential mortgage lenders; people who have been through the program; attorneys; and licensed real estate agents.
Justices are looking for two people in each category plus someone with management skills to serve as the chairperson.
Meetings will be every two months, or more frequently if the committee decides that is necessary.
