INTroDUCING EBRHA board  nominEES

The Nominating Committee at EBRHA is happy to introduce the four nominees selected to run for the association's Board election, to be held Saturday, November 21, 2020. The nominees include new candidate Chris Cohn, and returning candidates Fred Morse, Wayne Rowland, and Jack Schwartz. We encourage all EBRHA members to learn more about the candidates below in preparation for the upcoming Board election.

Chris Cohn

Chris Cohn, first-time EBRHA Board nominee, is a long-term Oakland resident who graduated from UC Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and master's degree in Psychiatric Social Work. She became a residential real estate agent in 1975 and worked in the field until her retirement in 2018. Chris' experience as a housing provider started in 1975 when she bought a duplex in North Oakland, living in half and renting half. She now manages four residential properties in Oakland and serves as a non managing partner in a 30-unit property. If elected, Chris seeks to work toward reasonable compromises between the needs of both owners and tenants.

Fred Morse
 
Fred Morse has been a part of the EBRHA Board of Directors for more than 30 years. He loves being an Oakland-based housing provider and has been a rental property owner for 53 years. He is currently a member of the EBRHA Legal Action Committee which has a case going to the California Supreme Court regarding Oakland's garbage issue. Fred also serves as a member of the Political Action Committee and check signer for the association. Fred has been a regular participant in EBRHA events and enjoys networking with fellow housing providers. If re-elected, Fred aims to help organize a fundraiser for the Legal Action Committee.

Wayne Rowland
 
EBRHA Board President, Wayne Rowland, has been a longstanding member of the association, and has served on the Board for nearly 20 years.
 
Wayne has played a significant role in many of EBRHA's political campaigns and has taken the lead on the association's legal actions. He has actively participated in public debates on housing issues, especially during these times of biased-against-rental-owners legislators. Wayne led the statewide rental housing associations that left CAA to form CalRHA and became its founding President.
 
Wayne looks forward to continuing his efforts in actively participating in advocating for the interests of rental property owners, counter-balancing the built-in narrative in favor of tenants, pushing back against government overreach, educating property owners of their rights and responsibilities as rental owners, and helping rental owners avoid the pitfalls of navigating local and state housing regulation.

Jack Schwartz

A small rental housing owner and semi-retired real estate attorney, Jack Schwartz has been on the EBRHA Board since 2010. He has served multiple times as Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and State Legislative Chair.
 
Jack has been, and continues to be, an EBRHA representative on the California Rental Housing Association (CalRHA) Board of Directors and also serves as the CalRHA Legislative Chair. He is running for another term on the EBRHA Board to continue the association's legislative efforts, particularly at the State level.
 
Jack has been an instrumental part of CalRHA and EBRHA, in representing the voice of small rental housing owners and actively engaging in the long overdue process of countering the negative perception of rental housing owners.
 
Jack looks forward to the continued support of members in enabling him to serve another term on the EBRHA Board.
