Affordable Housing Finance is looking for the next Young Leaders and inductees of the Affordable Housing Hall of Fame. Nominate the sector’s up-and-comers 40 and younger as well as its trailblazers.

AHF has been recognizing industry leaders younger than 40 since 2008. These rising stars represent the development, finance, service, and policy sides of the industry and have had an impact on the field in their own ways.

The Affordable Housing Hall of Fame was created in 2006 and has inducted more than 80 longtime leaders from different areas of the industry. Last year’s inductees were Lisa Alberghini, Housing Partnership Network; Gary Gorman, Gorman & Co.; Paul Sween, Dominium; and Monica Hilton Sussman and Stephen J. Wallace, Nixon Peabody.

Please think about those who have made a difference over the years as well as those who are initiating innovative strides to benefit low-income residents as well as the overall affordable housing industry today. Send your nominations for Young Leaders and the Hall of Fame to [email protected] by July 2.

For Young Leader nominations, tell us why you think the person has leadership ability, making sure to note the following:

  • Where they work and job title;
  • How long they have worked in the industry;
  • What qualities make them leaders;
  • What you know about their philosophy, purpose, or career goals;
  • Outstanding specific accomplishments that show leadership skill;
  • Industry activities and involvement;
  • Their age, if you know it; and
  • Their contact information.

Hall of Fame nominations need to include the nominee’s name, organization, a bio, and why you think the person should be part of this elite group of housing leaders. Letters of recommendation may also be submitted.
