The Board of Trustees

The Trustees of Atlantic Housing Foundation were asked to serve because of their skills and experience in real estate, law, business, and their philanthropic activity. Several of the members are career real estate professionals with over 100 years of combined experience in development, finance and management. The common thread among these trustees is their understanding that a nonprofit corporation, like Atlantic Housing Foundation, must operate under a higher standard of professionalism and strict accountability. They also understand the social purpose and nature of a non-profit organization, its position within society and law, and know that it will not succeed unless it is properly managed.
