Paddy Gray, from the University of Ulster has been elected Vice President of the Chartered Institute of Housing at the organisation’s annual general meeting in Harrogate this week. Paddy, a senior lecturer in housing, is the first person from Northern Ireland to be elected to the position.
The Chartered Institute of Housing, the professional body for people involved in housing and communities has over 22,000 members working in over 20 countries across the world.
Director Grainia Long, said: “Paddy’s election as CIH Vice President takes place at a critical time for housing in Northern Ireland. His tenure as Vice President in 2009-2010 will see him lead the organisation’s work through the current recession. With many challenges facing the sector from housing benefit reform to making best use of our housing asset base, Paddy’s expertise will contribute to setting a long-term vision for housing, and for a sustainable future”.
