Portland, ME – Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland announces its Executive Director, Godfrey Wood, will step down at the end of the year. Mr. Wood has served in the position since April of 2013.
“After many years of leading this respected and vital organization, I have decided to step down as Executive Director as of the end of this year.  I will be working with the Board of Directors and staff to assure a smooth transition. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland is in a better position than it was when I joined, and I am proud of the work we have all accomplished.  I plan to continue to consult for Habitat on key programs and pending opportunities." said Godfrey Wood.
 
Board President Julie Ray had praise for Mr. Wood.  "Godfrey has had an incalculable impact on this organization.  The Portland Affiliate has built 21 homes for deserving families during his tenure as Executive Director.  Due to his leadership, we are poised to build three homes in Freeport and eight homes in South Portland in the coming years.  His boundless energy and passion for Habitat has contributed not only to affordable home ownership, but to our Critical Home Repair Program and the overall financial health of the organization, providing many opportunities to serve our community going forward." 
 
The Board of Directors will work on identifying an Interim Executive Director, and Mr. Wood looks forward to assisting with the transition.
