Testimonials

Saugus Housing Authority - July 2025

"MassNAHRO did an excellent job with the Executive Director search.  Cylas Martell-Crawford and Donna Brown were highly motivated to help Saugus Housing Authority find the perfect fit.  Incredibly effective and efficient. Hit all the deadlines the Board set during their first meeting with them.  The Board of Saugus Housing Authority would highly recommend it to other Boards who need an organization to do a search in the future that they engage MassNAHRO."

Greenfield Housing Authority - September 2024
“The search for a new executive director is a confusing process, and MassNAHRO saved our housing authority in Greenfield (and me as its interim executive director) a huge amount of time and effort serving as the "port of entry" for all applicants, handling all the advertising and billing, and compiling the information on the candidates. In addition to saving time, MassNAHRO provided an objective source the preliminary search committee could use in their deliberations. Scheduling the interviews with the semi-finalists and search committee --all busy people -- was a process I personally dreaded, but MassNAHRO did it flawlessly. The team at MassNAHRO know what they are doing and they made it an easy process. The cost of the service was surprisingly reasonable. Best of all, the GHA Board selected a very talented new ED. Going with MassNAHRO was a great decision.”
