The Dallas Housing Finance Corporation on Sept. 9 elected a slate of officers that will take effect Oct. 1, 2025, after several current officers reached term limits.

The vote named Director David Ellis president and Director Sean Allen vice president. The board also reappointed Anthony (Tony) Page as secretary and selected Jack Marshallese as treasurer after a contested roll-call on the treasurer slot.

The change follows the corporation’s governing documents and city code. As staff noted during the meeting, “Per article 7 of the corporation's amendment restated certificate formation, a director may serve a 2‑year term and not more than 4 consecutive 2‑year terms,” and Dallas City Code section 8‑1.5 was cited as the local rule that resulted in the turnover. The corporation’s amended and restated bylaws, section 3.1, set the officers and two‑year terms.

Board members praised outgoing leadership during the nominations discussion. The board proceeded item by item for nominations and then approved a full slate by voice vote after a roll-call to resolve the contested treasurer vacancy.

Board members and staff confirmed the officer appointments will be effective Oct. 1, 2025. No changes to the corporation’s policies or staff assignments were adopted as part of the vote.

The meeting record shows discussion of continuity and gratitude toward the outgoing officers; no policy changes resulted from the elections and the board did not direct additional follow-up related to the officer appointments.

The corporation moved to its next agenda items following the elections.
