Chip Visci Joins HTF Board of Directors

We are pleased to announce that Joseph M. "Chip" Visci has joined the Fund's Board of Directors. 

Visci is President and Publisher of The San Luis Obispo Tribune and a died in the wool newspaperman.

"Chip is a great addition to our team" states Jerry Rioux, Executive Director of the Housing Trust Fund. "He is a critical thinker who understands our business and was involved in organizing the Housing Trust of Santa Clara County."

Chip has been with Knight Ridder - the nation's second largest newspaper publisher - since 1978. He spent 18 years in the newsroom at the Detroit Free Press. He was executive assistant to Knight Ridder Chairman and CEO Tony Ridder for five years. Prior to taking the reigns of The Tribune in 2004, Chip was publisher of the San Jose Mercury News.

"As a large employer," Rioux adds, "Chip is also well aware of the impact that the lack of affordable housing has on recruiting and retaining employees."

Chip also serves on the boards of the Economic Vitality Commission and the UCSB Economic Forecast Project. In addition, he is on the Community Advisory Council for Cal Poly's Orfalea College of Business.
