CHC Remembers Nancy McLaughlin, 1950-2011
Former CHC Executive Director Nancy Jane McLaughlin recently passed away at her home in Ashland, Oregon. Nancy was the first Executive Director of the California Housing Consortium. She was instrumental in the early formative years at CHC and continued her involvement by serving on our Board of Directors as an Emeritus Director. We are incredibly thankful for her contributions to our organization and to the affordable housing industry as a whole. Our sympathy goes out to her husband, former CHC Boardmember Keeley Kirkendall, and family.
