Ghandour was a member of the Board of Directors for Oregon Women Lawyers, the Oregon Law Foundation, the Executive Committee of the Oregon State Bar’s Diversity Section, and the Arab American Cultural Center for Oregon (founding member and past president). She is also a past president of the Multnomah Bar Association.


She received the President’s Diversity and Inclusion Award from the Oregon State Bar, the AILA Richard M. Ginsburg Outstanding Leadership for Immigrant Rights Award, and the Community Service Award from the Muslim Education Trust.
