NAHRO Names 2024 Fellows
For more than a decade the NAHRO Fellows Program has provided experienced and accomplished affordable housing and community development professionals with the opportunity to serve as mentors, participate in specific programs and activities, act as jurors and uphold the code of professional conduct and the ethical standards specific to NAHRO and the Fellowship. NAHRO Fellows have demonstrated, over a sustained period, their commitment to improve the housing conditions of their fellow citizens and/or the viability and sustainability of the community in which they live and work.
“I am always amazed by and grateful for the generosity of spirit of the NAHRO Fellows,” said NAHRO CEO Mark Thiele. “On top of their many accomplishments and constantly demanding work as housers and community builders, they continue to give back to the affordable housing industry by sharing their experience and wisdom, and by serving as mentors to the leaders to come. They’re truly champions, and we’re glad to honor the class of 2024!”
