ROC Member joins ROC USA to help communities become ROCs

Posted by April Myers November 8, 2022

CONCORD, N.H. — ROC USA® is pleased to announce that Jeanee Wright has been hired as Cooperative Program Manager in the cooperative solutions service unit. Wright has previously worked as a consultant for ROC USA and has been working with ROCs since 2013.

“I am excited to have Jeanee join the team,” said Angela Romeo, vice president of acquisitions. “She has more than a decade of experience in every aspect of this work. She has worked in all areas of the resident ownership industry, and I believe there is no one with the depth of knowledge and experience from a staff and resident perspective like she has.”

Wright has lived in a resident owned community, Exeter-Hampton Cooperative, for the last 15 years. In her new role at ROC USA, she will be organizing and supporting new ROCs across the country as they pursue resident ownership. Jeanee will be working remotely from Exeter, N.H.

“I believe in this work deeply, as my own community has reaped the benefits of resident ownership,” Wright said. “My longtime neighbors have witnessed the struggles and the cathartic change that derives from good organizing support along with hard dedicated work. We have not seen our rent increase in more than 10 years. Land ownership and stability equals healthy neighbors.”
