Recently, Greg served on the Board of Directors and as Treasurer of CHANGE All Souls Housing Corporation, which provides affordable housing in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington, D.C. After the sudden passing of that organization’s Executive Director, Greg served as Interim Executive Director and assisted the organization to find a permanent leader.
