Angie and Sadie highlight how our board members’ different talents, ability to communicate well, and passion for the industry make our organization strong. They bring a mix of skills that help us make a huge impact in the affordable housing industry.

A career trajectory spanning from law to nonprofit to banking has provided her with a unique vantage point, having experienced both sides of the closing table. This diverse background has enriched her perspective, enabling her to grasp the complete picture. Her multifaceted view empowers her to adeptly leverage funds, resources, and community elements to not only enhance affordable housing but also foster supportive communities.

We have created an environment where you can be yourself. When people can show up as themselves, you make real change, not just in this organization, not just in your community, in the entire affordable housing industry, and we are extremely passionate about the fact that this is a social issue that is the largest in the country, the largest in the world, and we are making a real impact.

The ’WHY WAHN’ series of the WAHNcast sheds light on the reason Ann Cone and Richelle Patton started Atlanta WAHN as an informal networking group. We can think of no better way to kick off this series than to hear from them and explore why leadership and sponsors across the country are involved in WAHN.
