Nearly 150 HAND members, partners and friends joined us last week for the launch of GenerationHAND! This standing room only event brought out affordable housing and community development practitioners from nearly every sector within the industry and clearly showed that the appetite for professional development and leadership training is strong among our practitioners who are “on the rise.” What was also equally clear was that our current leaders are just as excited to share their hard-earned knowledge on the inner workings of our industry, and are vested in helping to cultivate a strong slate of leaders for today and tomorrow.

The expert panel answered questions from the audience and the moderator with keen insight and perspectives based on their respective functions. Composed of for-profit and nonprofit leaders the panel was composed of presidents/CEOs, architects, bankers, real estate experts, developers and syndicators. Together they provided tangible and solid advice on ways to shape your future.
