David Buchwalter, NAHP-e, Adv. RAM, President of AdCar Associates and co-founder of theHUDgroup.us, was with the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) from 1969 until 1995 when he left to start AdCar.

Since leaving HUD, he has moderated panels for and been a speaker at meetings of affordable housing organizations including LeadingAge (formerly AAHSA), NLHA, NYAHMA and others. He received his Registered in Apartment Management (RAM) designation in 1988 and his Advanced RAM in 1991. He served as 1999 National RAM Chairman and, in 2000, was elected a Life Governor of the National RAM Board. Also in 2000, David was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Federation of New York Housing Cooperatives and Condominiums and, from 2000 to 2006 he served on the Board of the National Association of Housing Cooperatives. In 2001 he received his National Affordable Housing Professional Executive-level (NAHP-e) designation. In 2006 he helped establish and became a founding Board member of the New York Affordable Housing Management Association (NYAHMA). |
