Since becoming the president of the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) in 2023, Sharon Géno has revitalized the organization’s commitment to diversity and housing equity. Under her guidance, NMHC saw a 50% year-over-year increase in registration for its Women’s Event and reached record membership levels. Géno spearheaded the creation of the Opening Doors of Opportunity Guide, a strategic resource designed to improve outcomes for underserved populations through housing equity. She also leads the Housing Solutions Coalition, a seven-figure advocacy effort focused on workable solutions to the national housing crisis. Beyond policy, she has expanded member committees by 20% and launched nine peer networking groups to enhance engagement for new industry entrants. Géno’s tenure is marked by her ability to unify a diverse coalition of 2,000 member firms to influence federal legislation and promote responsible development.
