Duane Bay is currently serving as Executive Director of Pahali Community Land Trust as well as East Palo Alto Community Alliance and Neighborhood Development Organization (EPACANDO), returning to intensely place-based projects after five years of regional focus on housing, hazard resilience, and equity with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG).

For eight years prior, Duane led San Mateo County’s Department of Housing and Housing Authority. In this and previous positions, Duane was instrumental in the development of several sub-regional housing organizations: a 21-jurisdiction policy collaborative, a housing trust fund, and an advocacy coalition.

To these roles, Duane brought earlier local experience as a councilmember and mayor during periods of rapid development, resident displacement, and cultural transition; and life skills as a daycare and middle school teacher and early executive in two tech start-ups, one of which went public.
