AHACO Begins Executive Director Search

Alliance Begins Search for Full-Time Executive Director

Affordable Housing Alliance of Central Ohio News

A Message from Affordable Housing Alliance Chair E.J. Thomas--

As is often the case with start-up organizations, the staff of the Affordable Housing Alliance of Central Ohio--first Barbara Poppe and now Bobbie Garber--has worked for us part-time or in a consultant capacity. Their support has been key to advancing our mission over the past four years and achieving the successes we are now seeing in new local funding for affordable housing and adding new Alliance members.

In 2018, the membership adopted a workplan to transition to "AHACO 2.0," which includes hiring our first full-time staff to support the expanding work of the organization. We are now beginning the search process to hire a full-time Executive Director. Bobbie will continue to provide staff support through the end of 2019 to assure a smooth transition.

The Executive Director will be the Chief Executive Officer of the Affordable Housing Alliance and report to the Board of Directors.

We are looking for a dynamic leader who can provide strategic direction for the organization, serve as the public face of AHACO, build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders, bring expertise in affordable housing and advocating for solutions to issues of poverty and economic inequality, and be responsible for all facets of organizational operations.

Interested individuals can find more information about the Alliance and the complete position profile on our website . The deadline for applications is May 31, 2019.

Thanks for all you do for the Alliance,
