Utilizing strong relationship-, team- and project-management skills, my primary focus was to cultivate industry-wide support to build transitional housing for families in need, creating a real sense of "home" — a place to grow, build memories and plan for the future. Through grant making, we also created a workforce development program to provide mentored scholarship support to qualifying students interested in pursuing a career in residential home building. Our organization was built on lasting relationships. I was charged with engaging and energizing a strong board of directors, volunteers, event committees, trade contractors, partnering organizations, and project funders to ensure it would continue to thrive. In addition to the external relations, we worked to deepen and refine all aspects of our communications from web presence to marketing pieces to public engagements.
