PDC Affordable Housing has assembled a remarkable team

Steve Webster — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 06:49:17 GMT

I first met Nick Pavonetti a year ago. His ideas sounded right for the time as a commercial venture---his background is banking and commercial development---with a positive social benefit.

I thought Karen Miller---whom I first met in the CRED class---added a formidable academic component and some sound experience in 'bureaucratese,' as critical a language skill as finance for a company that wants to work with public and non-profit agencies to develop affordable housing communities.

Adding John Kynes gives the team a very powerful public affairs facet that clearly positions PDC among the top rank of affordable community development resources in Florida, IMO.

Kudos John!

Congratulations John! Wishing you the best in your new endeavor with PDC. That Nick, what an eagle eye on that guy huh? He just swooped down and pounced, baby. Undoubtedly, the knowledge, contacts, and passion you bring to the table make you an invaluable asset to PDC. Not to mention all the "stuff" Tom Zuniga drilled into us, that takes you off the chart! Again, the citizens of Florida will only benefit from your advocacy of affordable housing.

Do Good and Do Well!!!

CRED Certificate Course

Congrats to all. We have read with interest the article in connection with the Community Real Estate Development Certificate Course at the University of South Florida Collaborative for Children, Families and Communities. Is it possible to obtain a copy of the comprehensive directory of financing and subsidy resources that was prepared by the class? Thank you.

Say Cheese!

Everybody looks great. Although the middle of the back row looks a little fuzzy. It was an incredible learning and enriching experience to be a part of this course, this class, this collaboration, this group of community developers. I truly believe that our impact will be felt in Florida (from Brevard County thru Orlando to Fruitland Park thru Plant City into Tampa and throughout Hillsborough County)for years to come. Heck, there might even be rumblings in Key Biscayne and tremors in Tallahassee, baby. Honestly, with the legacy of Florida CRED.org to continue keeping our ideas and endeavors in the forefront, our potential impact will exceed any and all of our expectations. To all I say congratulations and keep it going. Happy adventures with your HP12C in hand, fellow CREDers.......

That is why you are the writer and I work for the government. It has been a pleasure working with all of my classmates, and I look forward to keeping in contact...even if it is just for some good food and conversation...

Steve, you really have a way with words. I have also enjoyed the CRED class. Most of all, I have enjoyed meeting all of our classmates and look forward to many years working together. This article gave me goose bumps; I thank you so very much for your efforts and in helping with the CRED Yearbook.
