MHI President & CEO Dick Jennison this week announced changes to the organization’s Government Affairs department aimed at strengthening the manufactured housing industry’s presence on Capitol Hill.
In recognition of the excellent work he has performed over the past three years while representing MHI, Jason Boehlert has
been promoted to Senior Vice President, Government Affairs. Boehlert is familiar to most MHI members as the person leading
the fight in Washington on behalf of the manufactured housing industry. “Jason has been a tireless voice for us to both Congress and the Administration,” said MHI Chairman Nathan Smith. “We should be proud to have him carrying our message to the Hill and beyond.”
To assist Boehlert in his DC efforts, MHI has hired Rick Robinson as its Vice President Government Affairs and General Counsel. Robinson has spent over three decades in law, government and politics. It was during a stint on Capitol Hill as Legislative Director/General Counsel to Rep Jim Bunning (KY-04) where Robinson first became familiar with the manufactured housing industry, advising the now retired Congressman on a wide variety of housing issues.
Robinson most recently worked as a lawyer for Graydon Head & Ritchey in Cincinnati, Ohio where he focused his practice mainly in banking and real estate. While at this firm, Robinson also developed a public affairs practice where he earned a reputation for successfully cultivating relationships on both sides of the political aisle.
“Rick brings to MHI the practical legal experience we need right now,” said MHI President Dick Jennison. “His banking expertise coupled with his government background make him the perfect fit for MHI.”
