Very honored to have been nominated and appointed to the Board of Directors of the Camp Fire Collaborative this week. The CFC is a nationally-recognized organization composed of stakeholders, community leaders, non-profit housing organizations, Red Cross, FEMA, CAL OES and other State agencies. Our town of Paradise lost over 15,800 structures and 91% of its infrastructure in the Camp fire. The CFC was formed soon thereafter, and has been one of the primary groups driving economic, housing and victim recovery here in Paradise. My company, Reconstruction & Recovery Advisors Inc has served on CFC's Housing Committee for almost six years now. The findings, solutions and activities of the CFC are being closely watched and followed by other communities also endeavoring to recover after catastrophic wildfires. I am happy to bring my 44 years of business, construction, finance and development experience to this blue-chip organization. Thank you to my fellow board members for my appointment, and all the members of the CFC and our Ridge community for your show of support.
