Aisha’s Candidate Statement
It is with great enthusiasm that I put forth my candidacy for a second term on the OFN Board of Directors. I bring the same expertise, networks, and passion for the CDFI sector today that I did when I first joined the Board in 2019. I have nearly 30 years of professional experience lending to nonprofits, small- to medium-sized businesses, real estate projects and more – 16 of them in banking and over a decade spent overseeing New Market Tax Credit deployment, lending, and technical assistance at TruFund, a CDFI that works in New York, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas.
