Hi there.  I wanted to introduce myself as the new administrative assistant.
I started in August and will be here until the end of March 2007.  One of my
major roles is to make the CAH site something you want to bookmark and check
often for new information.  As you know, Affordable Housing Week is October
16-20th and we have all the details on our website.  Updates occur on an
almost daily basis at this point, so check back often.  Have a look!
