Habitat for Humanity Recruiting

County’s Business Leaders To “Climb Another Ladder

of Success” in CEO Build Program

Continuing to “build” on the rare and powerful network
and success of Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach
County’s previous CEO Build initiatives, the nonprofit is
now recruiting senior business leaders to create the fourth
“House That CEOs Built” in South Palm Beach County.
Veering outside their traditional business environs,
senior executives and company owners are invited to “climb
another ladder of success” on the CEO Build construction
site on Friday, October 15th and Saturday, October 16th.
Donned in hard hats and construction gear with hammers and
power tools in hand, they will help build a safe, decent and
affordable three-bedroom, two-bathroom home for a local,
hard-working Habitat family.
No building experience is necessary; CEO Builders work
under the guidance of Habitat’s construction professionals
and crew leaders alongside the future Habitat homeowners.
Participants will get the chance to learn new carpentry skills,
or perhaps hone the skills they may already have.
To participate in this signature “leadership in action”
experiential opportunity, each CEO Builder must donate or
raise an individual minimum of $2,500 to underwrite the
construction materials for this and other Habitat homes.
When they meet or exceed their individual fundraising goal,
each CEO Builder will participate in a full scope of building
tasks on the home, working alongside the Habitat family who Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County is pleased to once again welcome community-minded trailblazers back
