Governor Jack Hall talks about changes at the Real Estate Foundation of BC

Jack Hall is Chair of the Board of Governors at the Real Estate Foundation of BC. He's been on the Board of Governors since 2005. In that time he's been actively involved in many aspects of the Foundation, including two separate terms as Chair, and participation in Convening for Action on Vancouver Island (part of the Foundation's Green Values Vancouver Island initiative).

The period since 2005 has also seen many changes take shape at the Foundation. These include:

• the semi-retirement of long-time Executive Director Tim Pringle (he's now Director of Special Programs with the Foundation – listen to Tim talking about one of his current research projects here);
• the selection of new Executive Director Karin Kirkpatrick (she took over in November of 2008 – you can lister to Karin's perspectives on changes at the Foundation here);
• a significant change in revenues (and, subsequently, grants) due to changes in the financial and real estate markets;
• and a strategic planning process that is giving the organization focus during this time of change.

Jack has been a significant part of these changes. He talks to CITinfoResource editor hanspetermeyer about his experience with the Foundation, and what these changes mean for this dynamic organization.
