On June 2, original CIRI enrollee Carol Gore (Aleut) retired from Cook Inlet Housing Authority (CIHA) after having served as its president and CEO since 1999.
On “loan” from CIRI, Gore initially worked at CIHA on an interim basis while the organization searched for its permanent leader. She found that, “I wanted to stay because I’d fallen in love with what was an important opportunity—providing affordable housing opportunities that empower our people and strengthen our communities.”
In June, Gore was elected by her fellow Shareholders to serve on the CIRI Board of Directors. She remains part of CIHA’s Legacy Council and serves as its president/CEO emeritus.
