READER INPUT WANTED:
Help Us Choose the Young Leaders of Affordable Housing
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FINANCE • OCTOBER 2007
We need your help to
identify the future
leaders of affordable
housing and community
development.
Do you know someone under the
age of 35 who has what it takes to be an
outstanding leader in the affordable
housing and community development
industry? AFFORDABLE HOUSING FINANCE
is looking to profile those young leaders.
But we cannot do this without your
input.
Think about the young people you
have met in your work and help us
identify those special individuals who
you think can build organizations,
lead programs, usher in new ways of
doing things, and solve common problems.
We are looking for people from all
disciplines, whether its development,
finance, law, accounting, or government
program administration.
They don't have to be workaholics,
but they need to be dedicated and hardworking
people who have demonstrated
that they are committed to the mission of
affordable housing and community
development.
They don't need to have positions of
great authority at this time. We are looking
for people who have already
advanced in their career but still have a
long way to go.
To nominate someone, please write
a memo that explains why you think the
person has leadership ability, making
sure to tell us the following:
- Where they work and job title
-
How you know them, and for how
long
-
How long they have worked in the
industry
- What qualities make them potential
leaders
- What you know about their philosophy,
purpose, or career goals
- Outstanding specific accomplishments
that show leadership skill
- Their age, if you know it
- Their contact information
We suggest you keep your nominations
confidential, as will we. We will be
selective in determining who to profile in
the magazine, so we don't want to raise
anyone’s hopes. Nor do we want this to be
viewed as a career-advancement or
resume-building tool. We discourage
people from nominating themselves.
Send nominations to Andre
Shashaty at ashashaty@hanleywood.com
or fax to (415) 315-1248.
