EFFINGHAM – Midland States Bank (NASDAQ: MSBI) today announced that David Noble, Community Development & CRA Officer, was elected to the Board of Directors for Housing Action Illinois, a statewide coalition formed to protect and expand the availability of quality, affordable housing throughout Illinois.
“We look forward to having David on our Board and continuing what has been a very supportive, collaborative partnership between Housing Action and Midland States Bank,” said Sharon Legenza, Executive Director of Housing Action Illinois. “We both believe that strong leadership is key to expanding the capacity of housing nonprofits throughout Illinois, and we both understand that it can take time and support to build that leadership and grow effective programs. Working together, we’ll be able to get closer to Housing Action’s vision of an Illinois where everyone has a good, affordable home.”
“I am extremely excited and honored to serve on Housing Action’s Board,” said David Noble. “Midland’s partnership with Housing Action began in 2015, working together to successfully launch a three year Organizational Leadership Development Initiative designed to enhance the leadership skills of housing-related nonprofit professionals in Illinois. And in recognition of the initiative, I’m very proud to say we were both recipients of the FHLB of Chicago’s Community First® Partnership Award. So I’m really looking forward to our continued partnership and the opportunity to share my perspectives, and learn from others, as a member of Housing Action’s Board.”
