SPEAKER PANEL
Two nationally known expert speakers presented their work

View Christa's Presentation

Christa Stoneham is a community development professional with over 15 years of experience. As a graduate of the only community development program in Texas and having a decade of consistent work within municipalities, Christa has honed her experiences to include: a strong understanding of government processes and procedures; establishing rapport and relationships that lead to strong collaborations with partners; fundraising for sustainable impact projects; procuring resources that help expand access and equity; and enhancing communication and connection with disengaged, underserved and under-resourced communities.

Ms. Stoneham understands and implements the leadership and stewardship needed to maximize neighborhoods' full potential. Therefore, Christa was appointed as the CEO and President of the Houston Land Bank to facilitate and fundraise equitable transformational developments in Houston's most vulnerable and underestimated communities.
