My interest in serving on the MAHRA Board is so I can work with like-minded industry professionals to deal with issues that impact housing opportunities.
With over 27 years of experience in the housing industry, I have administered an extensive portfolio of housing programs such as the HCV Program, Mainstream, HOPWA, RAP, FUP, Bridge Subsidy, VASH, NED, Housing for Homeless Persons with Disabilities, PBV, FSS and HCV Homeownership. Additionally, I have been a NAHRO faculty member for 21 years educating housing professionals and providing peer support and technical assistance.
I believe with my experience and commitment to the efforts of creating and preserving sustainable housing, I am able to serve as a competent advocate to the MAHRA membership. If provided the opportunity of serving on the MAHRA Board, I would be readily available to the MAHRA membership in focusing on the changes in our industry, as well as assisting in communicating and discussing new regulations that affect the day-to-day operations of the housing industry. I would use my experience to assist in developing and providing quality education to enhance the skills and knowledge of housing professionals. I would be vested in sharing the responsibility of the MAHRA Board in promoting the mission of the organization.
