As board chair, alongside vice-chair Amy Evans, we focused on recovering embezzled funds of an undetermined amount. Maggie kept the day-to-day of the North Idaho Housing Coalition moving forward. Her capable, calm, no-nonsense approach steadied the ship and gave Amy and me room to forge ahead with the legal case.
