A Bittersweet Goodbye
It is with a mix of sadness and joy that we will be saying goodbye at the end of April to Nancy Herndon, Single Family Loan Operations Administrative Assistant. As we are happy that Nancy will be enjoying a new chapter in her retirement; at the same time we are going to miss her terribly.
Many of you know Nancy only through the updates, guide changes, memos and conference work she does for SFLO but she really is the glue that keeps the SFLO team connected on a daily basis. Having a variety of Directors, Chiefs and Managers she has supported over the 12 years she has been with THDA, says so much for her strength, fortitude and crisis management. I am not certain if she had her dry sense of humor and quick wit before THDA or she acquired it here but no matter; I do know that she had the opportunity to fine tune it in SFLO.
Nancy has a generous heart and always is one to start a giving campaign when there is a staff member in need. Never part of her duties but she adds this, a unique gift, easily to her rigorous work load. Nancy will be the first to sarcastically refer to herself as the “anti-social director” because she considers herself more introverted but it goes without saying she has always been the epitome of the grand hostess when it comes to staff events, advisory board meetings, conferences and of course, our Lender Appreciation Dinners (we hope that we can do that again in 2022).
Nancy’s shoes will be difficult to fill because she has left such an imprint on our SFLO division. Nancy, we will miss your wit, generosity of spirit and keeping the team organized but we wish you all the fun and adventure you seek in your next chapter.
If you would like to send a message to Nancy, you can do so at Nherndon@thda.org until 4/30/2021. |
