HUG Co-Chair Steps Down
Four years ago, Michelle Trunkett and Jeffrey Hearne became the co-chairs of the Housing Umbrella Group. I’ve mentioned many times that the HUG group has been the most active of our statewide umbrella groups and an example of what all of this technology, when combined with commitment, makes possible. I received word earlier this year through Jeff that Michelle would be stepping down as co-chair.

From Jeffrey Hearne:
Those of you who were at the February meeting know that Michelle Trunkett has
resigned from being the HUG co-chair. Without any knowledge of what we were
doing, Michelle and I became the co-chairs of HUG way back in 2005. Over
these years, Michelle has volunteered time she didn’t really have to make sure
that the umbrella group had our monthly conference calls and annual trainings.
We all owe her a huge thank you for her service over the past four years.
Amidst the sad news (for HUG) that Michelle is stepping down, there is a silver lining. Deborah Rivera from Three Rivers has stepped up and agreed to co-chair the group with Jeff. We love a happy ending! Good luck in all your endeavors, Michelle, and thank you for all you’ve done to advance the cause of justice.
