officials through contributions and active participation in fundraising processes; and coordinating government af- fairs activities on the federal level with national affiliates. Furthermore, Wiggins will be responsible for promoting MMHA and the rental housing industry to members, legisla- tors, the media, and the public at large. The Maryland Multi-Hous- ing Association (MMHA) is a professional trade association established in 1996, whose membership consists of owners and managers of more than 215,228 rental housing homes in more than 997 apartment communities. Our members house over 561,000 residents of the State of Maryland through- out the entire State of Mary- land. MMHA membership also includes more than 221 associate members that sup- ply goods and services to the multi-housing industry. MAREJ company’s philanthropic arm, Mobius, focuses on its areas of strength – redeveloping habit- able spaces, abating suffering, and inclining well-being – and has donated more than $20 million over the past five years. “In a year with such great suffering around the world, we take great pride in our ability to give back and make even a small difference,” said Ari Nessel , principal of Nessel Development and Mobius co- founder. “As a company, we see Nessel Energy as being a big part of our future growth and ultimately playing a key role in achieving our philanthropic goals.” “We are not a traditional solar company,” said Thomas Loredo , Nessel Energymanag- ing director. “Yes, our Rooftop Revenue ProgramSM enables owners to use the sustain- able benefits of solar energy, increase NOI, and reduce op- erating expenses. But our goal is rooted in our commitment to giving back as we grow. It goes hand-in-hand.” Nessel adds, “Mobius is de- fined as ‘an effort to both create and transform financial and human capital into new forms of wealth that truly expand well-being in the world, doing so in a way that links the inner and outer life’ and recognizes the connection between the two.

He gained valuable insight into the land devel- opment plan review and ap- proval process and continues to draw upon that experience in his current role as a project engineer. Lynch applies civil engineer- ing, site design and construc- tion review experience to the commercial, industrial and residential development proj- ects on which he works, while specializing in stormwater runoff conveyance, storm- water management facility design, erosion and sediment control, and floodplain de-
lineation studies. He is a DNREC-certified Sediment and Stormwater Manage- ment Certified Construction Reviewer with expertise in- specting erosion and sediment control practices and review- ing stormwater management plans.

Since its grand opening in 2019, the facility has made a name for itself as one of the premier technical high schools in the region, having been named the 2020 ENR Mid-Atlantic K-12 Educational project of the year.

ately upon graduation with a state-of-the-art-facility and enhanced curriculums. The Somerset County Technical High School was designed to allow students to enter the workforce with above-average wages in the immediate area (Somerset County) and be better prepared for future op- portunities.” Becker Morgan Group’s ar- chitectural team, lead by firm principal Brad Hastings, AIA , incorporated the stake- holders’ objectives into the facility's design. The thought- ful alignment between mis- sion and function caught the attention of the AIAMaryland Design Awards Jury “(We are) Very excited to see a trade school executed with this level of design and engi- neering. This project is the perfect execution of elegant practicality. It is simple, clean,
beautiful, and every compo- nent provides opportunities for connecting and learning – whether you are watching the construction class build their prototypes through the hallway windows, growing the food you are learning to cook, or catching a glimpse of the colorful data wires, ductwork, and trusses exposed above. It is refreshing to see practical skills honored with craft and thoughtfulness.” Somerset County Techni- cal High School was designed with the future of education, student development, and economic stability for Somer- set County in mind. Becker Morgan Group is proud to have partnered with Somer- set County Public Schools to bring this award-winning fa- cility to the Somerset County Community and the State of Maryland. MAREJ
