RCAC’s Finnly Sutton steps down not out after 13 years

Finnly Sutton, RCAC director, housing programs joined RCAC as a rural development specialist in 1998. Since then, he has held several other positions at RCAC including grants and contracts administration manager and state team director. He took the helm as housing director in 2007. After 13 years at RCAC, Sutton has decided to retire next year (August 2012) and step down from the director position as soon as a replacement can be found. Sutton will be instrumental in the new housing director on-boarding process.

“During the past four years, Finnly has managed the housing program through protracted contract negotiations as RCAC and the other self-help contractors have worked to support the self-help network. In spite of month-to-month funding for much of that time, RCAC managed to support and maintain the self-help housing network in the West, not in small measure thanks to the leadership Finnly provided,” said Stanley Keasling, RCAC chief executive officer.

“Finnly’s expertise has been invaluable at RCAC; we are glad to have him as a resource for another year, and we are happy to wait awhile to plan an appropriate farewell,” said Keasling.

RCAC has begun recruitment efforts for a housing director to meet new challenges facing rural housing programs throughout the country. Access the RCAC housing director position job announcement>>
