We are delighted to announce the appointment of Lee Silberman as Habitat
Suffolk's Executive Director! In the past few months, the Executive
Committee worked to frame a leadership transition following Tracey
Edwards' appointment to the Public Service Commission. Habitat Suffolk
appreciates her leadership this past year, and we look forward to
building on all of the good things we started together under this new
leadership.
A 40-year resident of Long Island, Silberman is a longtime supporter of
Habitat Suffolk. He first volunteered in the mid-1990s on a worksite in
Bay Shore and joined the Board of Directors in the late 1990s. His board
service culminated with serving as chairman of the board from 2012
through June 30, 2018. His accomplishments include securing more than $1
million in funds for Habitat Suffolk, and he was named the 2017 Stephen
A. Antaki Memorial Construction Partner of the Year in recognition of
his years of services.
"After spending my career in the corporate world," Silberman said, "I am
looking forward to finishing my career by giving back and making a
positive impact on Suffolk County."
