Gov. Sarah Palin has reappointed two members to the board of the state’s most frequent bond issuer.
She announced the reappointment of Jyotsna L. “Jo” Heckman and Marty Shuravloff to the Alaska Housing Finance Corp. board of directors.
The seven-member AHFC board consists of four members appointed by the governor and three cabinet members. The AHFC was the state’s top issuer in 2007, selling $544.1 million of bonds. In addition to mortgage loan financing, the AHFC also operates the state’s public housing and provides rent subsidies.
Heckman, of Fairbanks, is the president and chief executive officer of Denali State Bank. In 1986, she was among a group of local bankers who chartered and opened Denali State Bank.
Shuravloff, of Kodiak, has been executive director of the Kodiak Island Housing Authority since 1996, administering programs and grants providing housing, financing, economic development, and related assistance for rural and Native Alaskans.
