ACUHO-I Central Office Closed by Power Outage
A windstorm that caused major damage throughout Ohio has also forced the temporary closure of the ACUHO-I Central Office. ACUHO-I regrets any inconvenience this has caused members.
The office and much of central Ohio (more than 300,000 homes and offices and more than 40 percent of the electric company’s customer base) has been without power since approximately 4 p.m. (eastern), Sunday, September 14, 2008. Unfortunately, the loss of power has meant the ACUHO-I Web site and e-mail for staff members has not been operational during that time. Steps are being taken to restore service as soon as possible.
Estimates say power may be restored to the office Wednesday evening. In the meantime, ACUHO-I has established two temporary cell phone lines for members who need to speak with someone. Laura Pietrykowski, ACUHO-I membership coordinator, can be reached at 614.517.8360 and Sallie Traxler, ACUHO-I executive director can be reached at 614.946.8862.
ACUHO-I will send messages regarding the situation to regional presidents and chief housing officers at all member institutions along with posting messages to the ACUHO-I blog and social network. More details will be posted as they become available. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to recover from the windstorms.
