Sakakeeny of SAK Environmental named board member of Essex County Habitat for Humanity
North Andover, MA Stephen Sakakeeny, principal at SAK Environmental, LLC has been approved as a board member to the Essex County Habitat for Humanity (ECHfH) board of directors. SAK’s relationship with ECHfH started in 2014 at a condominium development in Lawrence, Mass. Since that time, SAK has been providing pro bono services to the organization. Sakakeeny joined ECHfH’s site acquisition committee in 2021 which led to a position on the board of directors.
“Affordable housing development has the same challenges as any other real estate development project,” said Sakakeeny, “That is, finding suitable property, funding, managing risk, and delivering quality construction. I am fortunate that my experience from my day-job at SAK Environmental where I provide environmental risk management in real estate development can help ECHfH further its mission in affordable housing construction.”
