Leadership Transition

After four decades of dedicated service to MHP — including 35 years as executive director — Clark Ziegler will be retiring at the end of February 2026. His leadership has been instrumental in shaping MHP’s mission and impact and his legacy will continue to guide the organization for years to come. Clark’s retirement follows the planned departure of Charleen Tyson, MHP’s Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, who will be retiring in November 2025 after 21 years of service.

The MHP Board of Directors anticipated these planned retirements and has been preparing for a transition. The board appointed a search committee earlier this year and recruitment of a new executive director is being led by Janet Albert at Bridge Partners. Details about the executive director position and chief financial and operating officer position are available here.

MHP enters this new chapter from a position of strength. The organization is supported by a seasoned and committed staff, a strong core management team, and sound financial footing. A strategic plan adopted by the board in December 2024 is now being implemented across the organization. Staff are engaged in the transition process and a comprehensive onboarding plan is being developed to ensure a smooth and successful leadership transition.

While we honor Clark and Charleen’s many contributions we are equally excited about the future and remain deeply committed to our mission of expanding affordable housing opportunities across the Commonwealth.
