The Alabama Manufactured Housing Association Board of Directors met on June 5, 2013 and unanimously accepted the Executive/Search Committee’s recommendation to promote Assistant Director Doris Hydrick to Executive Director effective July 1, 2013.
As the Assistant Director for sixteen years, Ms. Hydrick has experience in meeting planning, education seminars and regulatory matters. She also served as staff lobbyist and personnel manager.
In 1999 Ms. Hydrick accepted the voluntary position as Executive Director of the Alabama Housing Foundation, a non-profit charitable foundation organized to assist individuals living in manufactured homes who have limited resources, health or emergency situations.
Sherry Norris, the current Executive Director, stated, “Doris has served in a support position and is now ready to take the lead. She is dedicated to the manufactured housing industry and the association. It has been a pleasure working with her over the years. I wish her the very best and know she will continue her commitment to AMHA members and the industry on the state and national level.” Ms. Norris will move to the President position until her retirement in December 2013.
AMHA is the Alabama trade association for the manufactured and modular housing industry. AMHA member companies are comprised of manufacturers of HUD Code homes and modular homes; retail sales centers; financial companies; suppliers of products; service suppliers; installers of homes; communities/developers and associate companies in the industry. In 2012 Alabama ranked third in the nation in total production of manufactured homes and the plants exported 71% of the manufactured homes built in Alabama.
