Testimonials

GREAT webinar! It has solidified that my understanding of most HOTMA concepts is accurate and helped me get answers to the few lingering questions I didn’t have a clear answer about in my own head. Thank you again for an amazing webinar!

Rhanda Mckown – Director of Affordable Housing, LeadingAge Southeast

Great presentation on a tricky topic! [RAD/RAD for PRAC]

Ellen Quinn, Accountant, Women’s Development Corporation/Housing Opportunity Corporation, Providence, RI

Just wanted to take a moment and THANK YOU for the excellent presentation on [Tax Credit] Noncompliance! It was a great refresher as I tell my sites over and over these very points - the newbies and seasoned site staffers. Again, thank you for keeping these complicated issues simple and direct.

Deeba Noyes, Compliance Manager, Peabody Properties, North Shore, MA

Gwen's [Virtual] CPO class is by far one of the best Section 8 trainings I have gone through. Her knowledge and enthusiasm kept me engaged and motivated through the 20-hour class. The presentation was clear and fun to follow along which made it easy to retain the information. Thank you for being a great instructor and keeping us engaged. I could not have understood the HUD handbook without your knowledge!

Nadine Ruiz, Regional Manager, Trillium, Los Angeles, CA

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on an excellent delivery of such a difficult subject [NAHMA’s FHC]. You managed to ensure that such a long training by videoconference just went by rapidly. You certainly have a wealth of knowledge in the Fair Housing area.
