For Immediate Release                                                           August 10, 2021
 
Executive Director of Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity to Retire
 
GREEN BAY, WI – On behalf of the Board of Directors for Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity, we announce the retirement of our Executive Director, Cora Haltaufderheid, which will be effective December 2021.
Picture
Cora began her career at Habitat in 2014. The organization has continued to grow our mission to new heights with her business knowledge, personal drive, and talented staff on her team. Notable achievements in her seven years with Habitat include:
  • Leading a $3.5 million capital campaign, which resulted in the purchase and renovation of a 35,000 square foot Habitat campus
  • Construction of three twin home buildings (a first for our organization), providing safe, decent, affordable housing for six families
  • Legacy build in memory of a dedicated, long-term volunteer that involved the volunteer’s family in designing, funding, and building the home
  • The creation and evolution of our signature event, RePurpose for a Reason, has raised awareness of our mission, organization, and specifically our ReStore 
The impact of Cora’s involvement with our organization affects not only the 55 families that have new homes since she has been leading the organization, but also the generations of those families yet to come. Her efforts leave a lasting legacy for the organization’s staff, volunteers, board members, donors, and community partners of providing homes, communities, and hope in the Green Bay area.
 
While she will be missed, we wish only the best for her as she enters her well-deserved retirement.  The Board of Directors is forming a search committee for her replacement.
