This is the latest of several quick bios we'll blog of speakers scheduled to appear at the Vermont Statewide Housing Conference, Nov. 18 in South Burlington.

Read about other speakers scheduled to present at the event and register to attend at the conference Web site.

Pre-registrations for the Nov. 18 Vermont Statewide Housing Conference are past 350 now, and workshops are beginning to fill up.

State Housing Policy reached capacity this morning. It's the second workshop to fill up after The Economy and Housing, which maxed out a few weeks ago.

There's still room in plenty of compelling sessions, but register now to be sure to get your pick.

Bring a non-perishable food good to the Nov. 18 Vermont Statewide Housing Conference, and drop it off at the registration desk.

All donations will benefit the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf, the largest food shelf in Vermont, serving more than 10,000 people a year.

Earlier this month, VHFA won a Bronze Award from the Vermont Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports as part of the 2008 Vermont Awards for Work Site Wellness, Physical Fitness and Sports. (Read the original post.)

We just got a hold of this photo of VHFA HR/Office Manager Martha Panton accepting the honor from Gov. Jim Douglas.
