Executive Director Sarah Carpenter announced that Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) has hired Mia Watson of Essex Junction for the position of Research and Communications Coordinator. Watson comes to VHFA from University of Vermont where she worked in the Administrative Business Center while completing a Masters of Public Administration.
“We are excited to have Mia back at VHFA after her graduate internship in our Research Department last year,” Carpenter remarked.
Watson fills a position vacated by Leslie Black-Plumeau. Black-Plumeau has moved into the role of VHFA’s Policy and Planning Manager.
