The Families Moving Forward Board of Directors is pleased to announce Tammy Laurence, MPA, as the Executive Director of Families Moving Forward. Tammy is an experienced leader and teacher in building collaboration through Collective Impact, resulting in measurable results in the affordable housing industry. Tammy’s work with Habitat for Humanity received national acclaim when she led disaster recovery efforts in Fayetteville, culminating in 100 Habitat homes built in less than a year after Hurricane Matthew.
Tammy has lived in North Carolina for more than twenty years and has served as a leader in the nonprofit arena for thirty years. She has worked her entire career helping to move families out of poverty.
“Tammy will be leading FMF at a pivotal time in our five-year history, building upon a strong foundation in helping families in the crisis of homelessness find stability and homes,” said John Bowman, FMF Board Chair. “Tammy’s experience with collaborative partnerships, knowledge of trauma-informed practices, and skills in managing teams are especially critical as we continue to address the challenges of the pandemic in our community and among the families and children at FMF.”
The FMF Board’s nationwide search was guided by moss+ross, a Triangle-based consulting and executive search firm for nonprofits. Interim Executive Director Shana Carignan led FMF with commitment and care during the six-month search. moss+ross ensured that the outreach and screening included candidates with expertise in leading diverse, equitable, and inclusive organizations and with skills specific to addressing homelessness. FMF’s dedicated management team and staff participated in the interviewing process and helped develop the essential leadership criteria.
“I am committed to giving my best to the leaders, staff, and families of Families Moving Forward and to seeing that the organization's reputation continues to shine in the community,” said Tammy Laurence, new FMF Executive Director. “I am truly humbled and honored by this opportunity.” Tammy can be reached at tammy@fmfnc.org.
