Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys recently recognized Rick Freeburg, of the board of directors, as having achieved tenured status.
The recognition was given for his commitment and dedication for 10-plus years of serving on the affiliate’s board of directors. A tenured director is still invited to attend and participate as a voting member of any meeting, however, the attendance requirement placed on regular directors is not applicable to those with tenured status.
“Rick Freeburg has been an important part of the growth of the Upper Keys affiliate as it has gone from building one to two affordable homes a year to 20 affordable homes currently under construction,” Niedbalski said. “I look forward to Rick’s continued contributions to the board of directors.”
Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, and a 501(c)3 non-for-profit organization. Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to the elimination of poverty and substandard housing worldwide.
Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged. Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys serves the communities of Key Largo, Tavernier and Islamorada in the Florida Keys, and is currently under construction of a 16-unit condominium complex located on Windley Key, and a four multi-family housing project located on Plantation Key.
