Get Involved

Transpire, Inc. has a number of opportunities for NAHRO members and other interested parties to participate in our mission. For additional  information, see below or contact Kimberly Sneed at ksneed@nahro.org

Ways to get Involved

Serve as a Mentor

Through the Access Alliance and other vehicles, Transpire works with a number of agencies who could benefit from having a peer mentor.  Mentors are connected with an agency by mutual agreement, and make a one year commitment to talk with that agency on at least a monthly basis. Opportunities for mentorship come up on a regular basis, and those interested should contact Kimberly Sneed at ksneed@nahro.org.

Serve as a Consultant

Through the E-Procurment and other vehicles, Transpire often provides professional expertise to NAHRO member agencies through consultants and other fee-for-service professionals.  These engagements are made with consultants who have signed up with economic engine to use our E-procurement system.  Those interested in signing up can visit the e-procurement web site at www.nahro.economicengine.com or contact Larry Hancock at larry .hancock@economicengine.com or call 866.526.0160.

Serve in our Leadership

The Transpire Board of Directors is appointed by the President of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials. Based on the by-laws of Transpire, the nine Board seats are as follows:

1. The Board Chair shall be the Senior Vice-President of NAHRO
2. The Board Secretary/Treasurer shall be the Executive Director of NAHRO
3. One seat shall be held by the Chair of NAHRO's Budget and Administration Committee
4. One seat shall be held by a former NAHRO President, which expires every two years in an odd year
5. Three additional seats shall expire every two years in an even year (2006)
6. Two additional seats shall expire every two years in an odd year (2007)

Due to the small size of the Board, turnover is relatively low. However, those interested in participating should speak with the Board Chair and/or NAHRO President.
