2009
 William C. Enloe
Chairman and CEO, Los Alamos National Bank
William C. Enloe is dedicated to his community and to creating more affordable housing solutions in northern New Mexico. Mr. Enloe was directly involved in the development of an affordable housing subdivision in Santa Fe by assisting in establishing the necessary bond and by approving Los Alamos National Bank (LANB) loans for developers within the subdivision. Mr. Enloe was instrumental in enabling Homewise – a member of the NeighborWorks network – to provide second mortgages to clients so that they may reduce the down payments required for affordable home purchases. As a member of the Downtown Master Plan Committee and the Los Alamos Housing Authority Board, Mr. Enloe worked to establish goals and policies for affordable housing in Los Alamos and provide affordable housing for teachers, police and public servants. Most recently, Mr. Enloe partnered with Homewise to develop a homebuyer program for LANB employees through Homewise’s employer-assisted housing campaign.
In addition to supporting affordable housing opportunities in Los Alamos, Mr. Enloe is involved in initiatives to stimulate economic growth throughout New Mexico. As a former chairman of the New Mexico Economic Development Partnership, member of the ACI State Economic Development and member of the State Investment Council – Advisory Committee, Mr. Enloe has actively worked to develop and increase jobs in New Mexico, promote business-friendly legislation in the state, attract new businesses to the state and invest state funds in corporations that establish facilities within New Mexico.
Above all, Mr. Enloe is firmly connected to his community and the families LANB serves. In May 2000, after the Cerro Grande fire – a devastating forest fire that caused 400 Los Alamos families to lose their homes – Mr. Enloe placed a moratorium on mortgage payments until the homes lost in the fire were rebuilt, and negotiated a similar moratorium with Fannie Mae.
Mr. Enloe’s integrity, forward-thinking perspective and connection to his community have been instrumental to the growth of northern New Mexico communities like Santa Fe and Los Alamos. These characteristics continue to make him a successful leader in his community and throughout New Mexico.

 Michael P. Rizer
Executive Vice President, Director of Community Relations, Wachovia Corporation
Charlotte, North Carolina
Michael Rizer is being honored for his dedication to creating partnerships that resulted in more affordable housing solutions for Charlotte. A former member and Chair of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Housing Partnership, Inc.’s (CMHP) Board of Directors, Rizer helped the agency undertake several new affordable rental housing developments. During Rizer’s tenure on the CMHP Board, the organization increased its assets from $38 million to $45 million, built 485 high-quality, affordable rental units, helped 246 families become homeowners, and provided counseling to nearly 2,200 families. Rizer also played an instrumental role in activating the nonprofit response to Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s foreclosure crisis. Identified as having the highest foreclosure rate in the state of North Carolina, Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s first-time homebuyer market has been especially affected. Upon participating in discussions on how to address the crisis and the region’s response, Rizer offered his support, which brought together local resources to address the looming problem. |
