Standing Committees

A number of standing committees conduct key operations vital to the smooth functioning of Habitat's important work.

Family Selection Committee

Members of the Family Selection Committee guide our families through the application process. They help fill out applications, review and verify the information received, interview prospective partner families, and carry out home visits. Each year, the Family Selection Committee has the very difficult task of selecting and recommending a 'short-list' of families to the Board of Directors. Chairperson: Nancy Pope

Site Selection Committee

This committee helps identify potential sites for construction or renovation. The committee's activities include working with local government officials on acquiring houses and building lots. They work closely with the Building Committee to assure the sites are viable construction sites and suitable for our partner families. Chairperson: Jerry Greenstreet

Construction Committee

This committee is for people interested in or knowledgeable in home construction. Surveyors, architects, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and people who know building code can be invaluable members. House Captains are core members of this committee. Working closely with our Site and Construction Manager, the committee meets once regularly to review and plan all upcoming site work, construction, schedules, and logistics. Chairperson: Avery Fortenberry
