Since joining @HabitatNYC_WC as CEO almost nine years ago, I've been dedicated to furthering our mission and vision alongside our passionate and talented team. I'm honored by my time here and know that our leadership transition plan is the right next step. Thank you all so much💙
It is with a mix of emotions that we announce that Karen Haycox is stepping down as CEO of @HabitatNYC_WC at the end of this month. After nearly a decade of dedicated leadership, Karen will be starting a new chapter of her life in California, and we wish her well.
