Highly active in his legal community, Mr. Eittreim served on the Executive Committee of the Family Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia for seven years, beginning in 2017. While on the Committee, he served in various roles and positions, including being the Chairperson of the Section for the 2022 - 2023 Bar year, and acting as the Editor of the Family Law Review, the quarterly publication produced by the Family Law Section.

He is a member of the Lawyers Club of Atlanta, and he also a Master of the Charles Longstreet Weltner Family Law Inn of Court, where he serves on the Executive Committee and is the current Treasurer. Well-versed in his practice area, he also serves on the adjunct legal faculty at Emory University School of Law, teaching the Kessler-Eidson Program for Trial Techniques, one of the most rigorous and highly-regarded trial skills programs offered or required by any law school.
