reconfirms officers during Annual Meeting The reconfirmation of officers and the swearing in of a new commissioner highlighted the Missouri Housing Development Commission Annual Meeting May 24. Gov. Bob Holden, servicing as chair of the Nomination Committee said, “The great work that our officers have done this year led us to ask them to stay on for another year.” Gary D. Collins of Jefferson City will continue serving as MHDC Chairman with State Treasurer Nancy Farmer serving as Vice Chair. John R. Wilson of Kansas City will continue serving as Secretary, Treasurer. Rev. Dr. Ronald L. Bob, Sr., was sworn in as the newest commissioner at the meeting. Rev. Bobo is pastor and evangelist at the West Side Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis. By Missouri statute, the commission consists of the governor, lieutenant governor, the state treasurer, the state attorney general, and six members to be selected by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate. Remaining Commission members include Attorney General Jay Nixon, William H. Creech, Jr. of Troy, Anne B. Schmidt of Florrisant and Dwayne A. Crompton of Kansas City. The Missouri Housing Development Commission was established by the 75th General Assembly in 1969. Since that time, MHDC has encouraged and assisted in the production of affordable rental housing and provided homeownership opportunities for thousands of families. MHDC does not build or renovate housing itself; rather, it functions as a bank, providing financing directly to borrowers or through a network of private lending institutions. Most of MHDC's programs operate as a public-private partnership.
