September 2013 Columbia Section Meeting-Habitat for Humanity 101

This month we welcome Rick Jansons, the new Executive Director for the Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity.  Rick was previously a nuclear industry consultant with over 25 years in the industry and has served on numerous local boards, such as the Richland School District Board, Leadership Tri-Cities, and Richland Rotary.  He has also served as President of Washington Agriculture and Forestry Education Foundation, Chair of the Tank Waste Committee, and Vice-Chair of the Hanford Advisory Board.  We’re probably all familiar with with what Habitat for Humanity does, but seldom get to see the results of their projects first hand.  Rick will give us an update on the recent, current, and upcoming HfH projects in the Tri-Cities
