Interviews are currently being conducted for a Finance Director. President Pérez asked Amy Hall, HACM's Communications Coordinator, to inform the Directors on some upcoming activities. Travaux will be at the upcoming conference of the Wisconsin Association of Housing Authorities, presenting a panel on creating an instrumentality, speaking to Travaux’s formation. The following week, Travaux will have a booth at the annual WHEDA conference. The first brochure for such activities has just been printed.
