Wasco County appoints Mitzi Mason to Mid-Columbia Housing Authority board
Summary
Mid-Columbia Housing Authority Executive Director Karen Long recommended Mitzi Mason to fill a vacancy; the board approved Order 26-021 unanimously, noting the seat is typically reserved for someone with direct ties to housing assistance recipients.
Karen Long, Executive Director of the Mid-Columbia Housing Authority, told the commission that the board vacancy created by the passing of Teresa Dirks was traditionally filled by someone who receives housing assistance or works closely with recipients to represent community voice. Following outreach, the board recommended Mitzi Mason, who is enthusiastic about serving. The board moved to approve Order 26-021 appointing Mitzi Mason and passed the motion unanimously.
