THDA Board of Directors

THDA is governed by a 15-member board of directors. The Governor appoints six board members, who are citizens of the state, who do not hold public office, and who represent the following groups: retail building material supply, manufactured housing, home building, mortgage banking, licensed real estate brokers, local public housing authorities, local government and qualifying non-profits. The Governor also appoints one board member from the public at large who is knowledgeable about the problems of inadequate housing conditions in Tennessee. The Speaker of the State Senate and the Speaker of the State House of Representatives each appoint one board member, each of whom must be a citizen of the state, not hold public office and be knowledgeable about the problems of inadequate housing conditions in Tennessee. The Comptroller of the Treasury, the Secretary of State, the State Treasurer, the Commissioner of the Department of Finance and Administration, and a Staff Assistant to the Governor serve ex officio.
