Big News from the CDFI Fund

Art Garcia to Leave. Art Garcia informed me at a meeting in his office this afternoon that he will leave the CDFI Fund on December 8th to move home to his native New Mexico. He will stay with the federal government, returning to the US Department of Agriculture's rural housing program, where he will be the New Mexico state director.

Art said that the Treasury Department will start a search for his replacement following the midterm elections.

Art has done an outstanding job and assembled a strong staff.
