Cyndi J. Hueth recently was named executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County by the organization’s board of directors.

Hueth was president/CEO of Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity in La Verne, Calif., from 2002-2008.

Both she and her husband, Larry, have been active volunteers with Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County since moving to the area at the end of 2008.

“I am so excited to be part of the Habitat for Humanity family once again,” Hueth said. “While we are part of a global organization that has built or rehabilitated over 800,000 homes around the world in partnership with families in need of decent housing, the local impact of having now served 25 families in Clallam County is both significant and heartwarming,” she said.

“We have strategic goals to increase our yearly house builds in order to serve more families. What we need now are more committed volunteers to serve at the committee level with responsibilities for selecting and partnering with our families, finding land for future builds and fund- and friend-raising.”

Hueth has a bachelor of science degree in business administration from the University of La Verne in California. She also has worked as the music administrative assistant at Sequim Community Church for four years.

“Cyndi … comes to us with invaluable knowledge and prior experience in the Habitat for Humanity organization,” Anna Nichols, Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County board president, said. “Since she has lived in our community for several years, she knows the people and the needs of our Clallam County community. The board sees that as a big plus.”

Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry providing affordable housing in partnership with low-income families throughout Clallam County.

Incorporated in 1991, the organization has built 25 homes in Port Angeles, Sequim and Forks.
