Help Affordable Housing Finance magazine recognize the industry’s top talent. The call for nominations is now open for the 2022 Hall of Fame and Young Leaders programs, which recognize affordable housing’s trailblazers as well as rising stars 40 and younger.
We created the Affordable Housing Hall of Fame in 2006 and have inducted 71 pioneers from different sectors of the industry and the federal government. Last year’s inductees were leading industry stakeholders Anne Segrest McCulloch, the former president and CEO of the Housing Partnership Equity Trust; Diana McIver, president of DMA Cos.; and John Parvensky, president and CEO of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless.
Affordable Housing Finance also has been recognizing industry leaders younger than 40 since 2008. These 94 up-and-comers represent the development, finance, service, and policy sides of the industry and have had an impact on the field in their own ways.
Now it’s time to select the next class of Affordable Housing Hall of Fame inductees and the 2022 Young Leaders. They will be featured in the September/October “Leadership Issue” of Affordable Housing Finance and honored at AHF Live: The 2022 Affordable Housing Developers’ Summit, Nov. 14 to 16, at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago.
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 the Hall of Fame and Young Leaders to [email protected] by Monday, June 6.
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.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 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
- industry activities and involvement
- their age, if you know it
- their contact information
- their resume, if you have it
We suggest you keep your nomination 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.
