MHProNews has been informed that officials at the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) and industry leaders are cheering the appointment of Pamela Beck Danner as the new Administrator for the Office of Manufactured Housing at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In the 1980’s Ms. Danner served as counsel at HUD and then as Director of the Office of Manufactured Housing and Regulatory Functions. MHI President and CEO Richard “Dick” Jennison says, “Ms. Danner will come to the table with a full plate of issues. Running her own law firm for the past two decades, her extensive industry background, and her prior HUD experience will enable Pamela to juggle and prioritize all of the pending matters before HUD. The selection of an excellent candidate to fill this important role is a major accomplishment for MHI and our members.”
Nathan Smith, Chairman of MHI and principal in Kentucky-based SSK Communities, adds, “Being a past Administrator of the program makes Pamela well positioned to move us forward. Along with the rest of the industry, I welcome her back and look forward to working with her in the years to come.” Joe Stegmayer, Chairman and CEO of Cavco Industries of Phoenix, Arizona, and former MHI Chairman, says, “I’ve known Pamela for many years. She brings strong leadership skills and knowledge of the industry that is much needed at HUD right now.”
Ms. Danner is currently the principal in the law firm of Danner & Associates in McLean, Virginia, specializing in businesses, non-profit associations and estate planning. ##
