Board of Directors

HAC's board of directors includes representatives of private industry, government, and public and nonprofit housing agencies at the national, state, and local levels.

To email a board member directly, type the address into your email program, without spaces, and using @ instead of AT and . instead of DOT. For example, hac AT ruralhome DOT org would be This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
