Vision Awards Presentation: A Salute to Bill Machen

The Vision Awards, which annually recognize innovative and impactful leaders in the private and public sectors, are presented by the National Housing & Rehabilitation Association (NH&RA).   This year’s private sector award will be presented to Bill Machen, whose work has helped make Holland & Knight’s Tax Credits Transactions Practice one of the largest in the United States. When the low-income housing tax credit was created in 1986, Machen was a pioneer maximizing the benefits of the credit to affordable housing developers and residents. Despite decades of developing a keen technical expertise in the field, Machen has not lost sight of impact of his work.

Keynote: A Conversation with Jonathan Rose

In conversation with Peter Bell, NH&RA President & CEO

Jonathan F.P. Rose’s business, public policy and not-for-profit work all focus on creating more environmentally, socially and economically resilient cities. In 1989, Mr. Rose founded Jonathan Rose Companies LLC, a multi-disciplinary real estate development, planning, and investment firm which has successfully completed more than $1.5 billion of work. In 2005, the firm launched the nation’s first green transit oriented acquisition and redevelopment fund, followed by several green affordable housing and office transformation funds.

The company’s mission is to repair the fabric of communities. The firm’s work touches many aspects of community health; working with cities and not-for-profits to build not only affordable and mixed-income housing, but also cultural, health and educational infrastructure.

The firm’s innovative development, planning, investment, new construction, conversion and historic preservation work has won awards from a wide range of notable organizations including: the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Urban Land Institute, the American Planning Association and the American Institute of Architects. Mr. Rose’s book on resilient cities, The Well Tempered City, will be published by Harper Collins in the spring of 2016.

Mr. Rose is Vice Chair of Enterprise Community Partners and is a trustee of the Natural Resources Defense Council. He also serves on the Board of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and is an Honorary Member of the American Institute of Architects. He is a Honorary Trustee of the American Museum of Natural History and Jazz at Lincoln Center. Mr. Rose chaired the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s Blue Ribbon Sustainability Commission, which developed the nation’s first green transit plan, and was a commissioner on Governor Cuomo’s NYS 2100 Commission, tasked with identifying strategies for the long-term resilience of New York State’s infrastructure post-Hurricane Sandy.

Mr. Rose and his wife Diana Calthorpe Rose are the co-founders of the Garrison Institute. The Institute connects inner transformation with outer solutions to relieve suffering in the fields of trauma, education and the environment.

Mr. Rose graduated from Yale University in 1974 with a B.A. in Psychology and Philosophy, and received a Masters in Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania in 1980.
