CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Community Loan Fund Board of Directors has appointed Steve Saltzman as its president and CEO, the second in its 38-year history.

Saltzman will start in early April. He is succeeding Juliana Eades, who retired in June.

Saltzman’s experience includes leading multiple programs at one of the largest national community development financial institutions, Self-Help Credit Union. He also was CEO at Charleston LDC in South Carolina, a smaller CDFI.

The New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, based in Concord, turns investments into loans and education to create opportunities for people to become financially independent. It collaborates with a range of donors and investors, as well as business and nonprofit and government partners, to provide the financing.
