We're thrilled to have you on board, Rocky Mountain Communities! The Next Gen Talent Academy fall session begins Oct. 4. Visit our website (linked below) to learn more about becoming a sponsor!
RMC is honored to be a participating organization in the Housing Partnership Network's Next Gen Talent Academy for the Fall Session. Learn how your organization can Empower Diverse Talent in Affordable Housing with the Next Gen Talent Academy (https://lnkd.in/gt5C67bn). As the demand for skilled, diverse talent in affordable housing continues to grow, many students, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, remain unaware of the fulfilling career opportunities in this sector. The Next Gen Talent Academy is here to change that narrative. This pioneering initiative connects BIPOC undergraduate and graduate college students with leading practitioners in both nonprofit and for-profit affordable housing sectors nationwide, offering scholarships and college credit opportunities. The program runs three times a year, includes virtual courses, lectures, and guest speakers from the industry. Students not only gain insight into various career paths but also have the chance to visit affordable housing sites, enhancing their learning experience. For sponsors, this is a prime opportunity to guide and recruit from over 10,000 trained candidates, ensuring a continuous flow of talent ready to drive the industry forward. For more information and upcoming sessions (Fall: October 4-November 15, and Winter: January 24-March 7), please visit the website (https://lnkd.in/gt5C67bn) or contact auguste@housingpartnership.net.

Congratulations to our own Yari S., Director of Loan Closings, for recently completing the Monge Capital Advisors Open Access Fellowship!
🎉Congratulations to our remarkable Fellow, Yari, on completing the Open Access Fellowship! 🎉 Since its launch in the Fall of 2021, the Open Access Fellowship has been a groundbreaking initiative, championed by Jeff Monge of Monge Capital and Gina Nisbeth, now of 9th & Clinton. This program was designed to address the lack of diversity in the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) industry, focusing on increasing Black and Latinx representation in community development finance. Yari has been an outstanding member of the 4th cohort, selected from a talented pool of individuals. With over 15 years of experience in the community development and affordable housing sector, she has brought her expertise and passion for community development to her fellowship at Monge Capital, an MBE-certified firm committed to investing in underserved communities. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Housing Partnership Network for their unwavering support of Yari’s journey. Under the mentorship of Jeff Monge and his incredible team, Yari has further expanded her knowledge and expertise, continuing to make a meaningful impact in the industry. We are so proud of Yari’s accomplishments and are excited to see all the incredible work she will continue to do in the future! 🌟 #OpenAccessFellowship #CommunityDevelopment #DiversityInFinance #LatinxExcellence #HousingPartnershipNetwork #MongeCapital #MentorshipMatters Yari S.

Housing Partnership Network reposted this
Lisa B. Alberghini is really remarkable. She has been an invaluable part of Housing Partnership Network, especially our signature peer exchange platform, not only because of her deep knowledge and expertise but also because she knows how to connect the country’s most prolific housing practitioners in ways that address our most significant social and economic challenges. Throughout her career, Lisa has been as efficacious working on the ground in communities as she has been in shaping federal housing policy or designing innovative financing solutions. She is always willing to listen, to share, to support, and to lead. The entire field of affordable housing is better off for her having been in it, and I'm wishing her well in retirement and the next chapter in her life.
