Event Information
Habitat for Humanity East Bay's Executive Build is an exclusive half day build that brings together the Bay Area’s top executive level officers. The event gives executives a great opportunity to give back to the community by swinging a hammer and helping to build homes for deserving low-income families. It also creates an environment for senior executives to network and learn about how their company can get involved with Habitat East Bay.
Bay Area companies play a critical role in the success of Habitat East Bays housing program, and there are many ways to get involved. Come join our annual Executive Build and learn more about how your company can help in our campaign to build the next 200 affordable, sustainable, ownership homes in just five years.

Press Release/Background
Building on the success of previous corporate Executive Build's, Habitat for Humanity East Bay will welcome senior Bay Area executives to its development at the Kinsell Commons development located at E Street and 84th Avenue in Oakland, for a special work day from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 16th, 2010. As requested by many of the participants last year we are offering an optional full-day build for those who would like to finish the day building. Corporate leaders will use hammers, power tools, and cooperative effort to raise walls and support Habitat East Bays mission to provide successful homeownership opportunities for families with limited incomes.
"It's a chance to get out of our everyday business suits and have a hands-on experience with our corporate peers, forging new bonds, and experiencing the thrill of seeing the immediate results of ones labor. It is immensely gratifying to work together to build homes," said Janice Jensen, Habitat for Humanity East Bays President and CEO. "Last year's team of executives had a lot of fun and helped make the dream of home ownership a reality for hard working families. Each Habitat family devotes hundreds of hours of sweat equity as the down payment on their homes. Our community leaders, volunteers and donors also make a difference by helping to make an enormous and positive change in the lives of these deserving families," Jensen explained.
