Our Committees
AHIC advances its mission through five volunteer-led standing committees and ad hoc task forces charged with addressing issues and opportunities as they arise.
Through these groups, we harness our members’ extensive skills, experience, and passion for affordable housing to support the field and provide valuable services to the 200 professionals involved with AHIC.
Interested members are encouraged to contact the chair to discuss service on a committee.
