As Kris Williams spends her final days with us as president & CEO, we’re taking a moment to recognize the lasting impact she leaves on FHLB Des Moines, and on the people and communities touched by her leadership. ❤️
Under Kris’s guidance, our work became about more than numbers and programs. It became about people, possibilities and creating meaningful pathways to stronger communities and more affordable housing.
Her vision helped bring to life voluntary programs that are making a real and lasting difference: the Member Impact Fund, Mortgage Rate Relief and the Housing Affordability Advance. Together, these initiatives have helped expand access to housing, strengthen community development, support homeowners and provide critical resources to organizations working to make a difference.
The numbers tell an incredible story - but behind every dollar is a person, a family, a home or a community whose life has been touched by this work.
Kris, thank you for leading with purpose, compassion and an unwavering commitment to making a difference. Your impact will live on through the programs you championed, the communities they serve and the many employees fortunate enough to learn from your leadership.
