Jeffrey D. Byrne Appointed Treasurer of MoHEFA

jdb_governor-nixonJeffrey D. Byrne, President + CEO of Jeffrey Byrne + Associates, Inc., has been selected treasurer of the Missouri Health and Educational Facilities Authority (MoHEFA) by Governor Jay Nixon (right). Jeffrey was first appointed as a member of the State Authority by Governor Nixon in February 2016 and is delighted to take on the additional role of treasurer less than a year after his initial appointment and senate confirmation.

MoHEFA is a seven-member appointed Authority that assists health and educational facilities across Missouri in their financing efforts.  The Authority provides access to capital markets in an effort to lower the cost of health and educational services in Missouri by providing high-quality, readily available, low-cost financing alternatives for Missouri public and private, nonprofit health and educational institutions.

Comprised of experts in the fields of healthcare, higher education, investment banking and finance, the Authority advises and assists borrowing institutions in qualifying for, structuring and completing quality transactions, overseeing the financing process. In this role, this bipartisan Authority has succeeded in obtaining more than $23 billion in financing for 500 projects across the state since 1979.

As a member of MoHEFA, Jeffrey brings a wealth of experience in the nonprofit and financial business sector. For more than 25 years, he has worked with healthcare and educational institutions across the country on capital and development efforts. As treasurer, he will oversee all aspects of MoHEFA’s financial management working closely with the Chair and Vice-Chair to ensure responsibilities are met.

“This has been an incredible year for MoHEFA and the organizations we serve, having approved $1.7 billion in bonds,” says Jeffrey. “It is a great honor and responsibility to not only be appointed as a member, but now treasurer. As I prepare for a more robust role with MoHEFA, I look forward to making 2017 our most successful year yet in our quest to improve the health and educational landscape of our great state.”

Jeffrey’s term as a member of the Authority ends on July 30, 2019.
