Debbie Campbell to Lead Panel at National Affordable Housing Conference

Salisbury City Councilwoman Deborah Campbell will lead a panel discussion on “green” development at a national affordable housing conference that starts tomorrow in Washington, DC . The green development panel will discuss how a new emphasis on sustainability is changing the face of affordable housing.

Campbell, the director of Special Projects for Neighborhood Housing Services of America (NHSA) and a Salisbury city council member, will moderate the panel of community reinvestment practitioners at the National Association of Affordable Housing Lenders’ (NAAHL) 2008 Washington , DC Conference, which is taking place Tuesday and Wednesday at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Campbell, a member of NAAHL’s inaugural Leadership Forum, a group of emerging leaders in the field of community reinvestment and affordable housing lending and investment, said “It is a privilege to work with such a talented group of professionals on cutting edge issues that are important to the future of Maryland and the nation.”

The green development panel will also feature other Leadership Forum members, including Mike Bielawa , vice president of the Community Investment Corporation; Brian Segel, vice president of the Community Development Department of HSBC Bank; and Bill Thompson, director of finance for the Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation.

Campbell, a Salisbury native, has worked in the field of affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization for nearly 15 years.

  2. Very cool.

    And the dumbasses on that council dismiss her every time she talks about housing.

    And she's a freakin' national expert!

    Forgive me, Joe. I have to say it:

    "IDIOTS!"

  3. WE city residents are so fortunate to have Debbie Campbell and Terry Cohen representing our interests.Bright, logical,hardworking,fair and articulate it is a travesty how they are constantly maligned by the likes of Louise Smith, Gary Comegys and Shanie Shields. Have you ever notice that Louise is CONSTANTLY prompted by Brenda Colgrove during council meetings? She doesn't seem to mind those interruptions very much--(neither do I but you know what I am saying here) The disrespect and disdain shown to Campbell and Cohen is shameful. Someone with a conscience needs to blow the whistle.

  4. Shanie agrees with housing on Jersey Road to be annexed into the city. Shanie says the people working in the call center will buy these houses. First I'd like to know WHAT call center. Second, I'd like to know how will they be buying houses IF there was a call center in Salisbury, on $7 an hour wages. Must be some pretty damned cheap housing. Oh yeah, thats right, they are "work force" (read substandard)housing.
