Board of Directors

"I initially joined the MidPen Board because I was eager to apply knowledge and skills from my career working in the home building industry to address the complex challenges of providing affordable housing. Being a part of helping MidPen develop, manage and support safe, beautiful communities where residents can be proud to live has been an incredible honor and privilege."

"I have lived in the Bay Area since 1981. Finding safe, affordable housing was a problem back then and has only gotten worse. MidPen has been a leader in developing innovative, scalable solutions for 50 years. I am proud to have served on the board since 1999."

"I joined MidPen because I believe that housing is a basic human right. It is the foundation upon which people build and live their lives. I have strived throughout my career to create high quality housing for people of various socio-economic levels and backgrounds. I joined MidPen to volunteer my skills in housing development and finance to help create housing and supportive services for those in need. My work with MidPen allows me to improve the lives of others. In so doing, it makes my life more meaningful. Kudos to MidPen for everything it does so well. MidPen rocks!"

"It is MidPen's undeniable leadership in providing affordable housing and their ongoing commitment to serve the comprehensive needs of individuals, seniors, and families that compelled me to join the board. This is an organization that consistently goes beyond the call to support the success of its residents while providing award-winning housing solutions for the state of California."

"I joined MidPen's leadership team to be a helping hand in advancing its mission to provide safe and affordable housing to those in need and to make the Bay Area an attractive place to live for all walks of life."

"Being on MidPen's Board means supporting an organization that sees and hears the needs of its residents.  MidPen's staff knows that life circumstances and inequities in our society do not have to stop one from seeing, touching, and feeling hope! It is an honor to support MidPen in creating a safe and supportive environment where residents, families, and communities can unite, grow, and thrive. "

"Affordable housing is a centerpiece of any vibrant community with a healthy economy.  MidPen's deep and scaled expertise in affordable and supportive housing development is an extraordinary asset for our region, and I am honored to support the team in their essential work."

"MidPen is changing what it means to be a voice for affordable housing in California, working to ensure that every resident has a safe, affordable, and stable home by not only building those homes but pushing for policies that express this value. As someone who is working to make housing a human right and sees how a home affects every aspect of someone's life, I want to be part of that."

"My professional career has been committed to the financing of residential development.  The opportunity to work with a group dedicated to providing quality affordable housing and stability to those in need is my honor and privilege."

"I joined the BoD because housing for groups at risk is a passion of mine, especially housing for farm workers. My family was in farming just 2 generations ago. They were lucky to be housed, but barely. Throughout the years my family’s farms were supported by hard working farm laborers. Every day my family is supported by low-income wage earners, probably more than we know. Ensuring they have an advocate and a supply of housing, even if our work is never done, is extremely important."

"I joined MidPen’s board because of the organization’s commitment to the community, impact-driven purpose, and passionate culture.  MidPen is a premier affordable housing developer committed to addressing one of the Bay Area’s most critical socioeconomic needs and it is an honor to be a part of such an exceptional team."
