Shaping Communities, Advancing Fair Housing: Inside the 2026 Culture & Impact Summit

Apr 1, 2026

You’re invited to join us at the 2026 Culture & Impact Summit: A Path to Fair Housing on April 14 in Columbus. This can’t-miss event brings together powerful voices and practical insights to explore how fair housing continues to shape our communities. 

The summit features dynamic keynote speakers, including Roy Hall Jr. and Derreck Kayongo, each offering unique perspectives rooted in lived experience and global impact. 

Attendees will earn one hour of Continuing Education credit through an engaging mock trial centered on a service animal scenario. This is an interactive way to better understand real-world fair housing challenges. The summit can also be applied toward renewal of your DE&I Certificate!  

Our legal team will provide important updates on the new Fair Housing Disclosure form that will soon go into effect for all Ohio licensees. They’ll walk through what the form is, why it matters and how to ensure compliance with the latest licensing requirements. 

Roy Hall Jr., a former Ohio State Buckeye and Indianapolis Colts player, will share personal stories from his family’s experience with housing discrimination, including redlining, and will explore how the community you live in can shape your life. 

Derreck Kayongo, a refugee from Uganda who became a successful CEO and globally recognized human rights advocate, will bring a broader perspective to the conversation. Also, Dan Doepke, Director of Member Policy at NAR, and Matt Difanis, Illinois Broker/Owner, dive into insights tied to Article 10 of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. 

Roy Hall Jr. has also shared a personal invitation to the event — be sure to watch and hear directly from him about why this conversation matters. 


Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, reflect and be part of the conversation. Register today.
