(DENVER) - Colorado Housing and Finance Authority's (CHFA) Executive Director, Roy Alexander, today announced his retirement, effective in November of this year. Mr. Alexander, a former CPA, first came to CHFA in 1988, to lead the organziation's finance division. In January 2001, he assumed his current position upon the retirement of CHFA's former executive director.
Under Mr. Alexander's leadership as executive director, CHFA has accomplished substantial growth in households served throughout Colorado, and more than doubled its asset base. CHFA has emphasized product improvement and expansion, responsiveness and customer service, and a culture of collaboration and community outreach.
Knowing of Mr. Alexander's intent for some time, the CHFA board of directors has been preparing for the impending retirement, and will implement its transition plan immediately. A search committee has already started working on the process. Board Chair, Joel Rosenstein said, "We will miss Roy tremendously. He has been instrumental to CHFA's success. We appreciate the strength of the team and organization he is leaving."
As a leader in Colorado's affordable housing and economic development communities, Mr. Alexander has a deep committment to community service and has been a model for giving back through his role on a variety of boards of directors at the local and national levels, including Housing Colorado, the National Council of State Housing Agencies, and the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.
"I have a great personal appreciation for the mission of CHFA and I'm extremely proud of the CHFA leadership team and staff who rallied around our goals on a daily basis. I feel honored to have had this opportunity and grateful to the many who have helped shape my career in so many different ways. I'm not heading off to a retirement community. Several years ago I determined I needed to slow down and reduce the stress level in my life. But I still plan to be active," says Mr. Alexander.
