Williston, VT – Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity today announced that David Mullin, who has served as Executive Director and more recently as CEO of the organization for over 25 years, will retire in February 2026. Under his leadership, the affiliate has dramatically increased the number of homes built and families served each year with over 121 families now living in homes built by GMHFH locally. The Affiliate also expanded its home building service area to include Franklin, and Lamoille Counties.
“David has been instrumental in advancing our homeownership mission of partnering with families and other housing organizations in the community to build permanently affordable energy efficient homes for families in need.,” said Ted Johnson, President of the Board of Directors. “His dedication to affordable housing and his commitment to our community have left an indelible mark on countless families throughout Vermont.”
During his tenure, David has also overseen the launch of Habitat for Humanity ReStores, in Williston, Milton and Swanton Vermont. The affiliate has grown significantly under his guidance, expanding its reach and impact while maintaining its core values of affordable housing, partnership, and community building.
“It has been the honor of my career to work alongside our incredible volunteers, staff, partner families, and supporters,” said David. “Together, we have transformed lives. While I will miss this work deeply, I am confident that Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity will continue to thrive and serve our community for years to come.”
The Board of Directors has established a search committee to identify and recruit the next leader. The committee will conduct a comprehensive national search to find a candidate who shares Habitat’s vision and possesses the leadership experience necessary to guide the organization into its next chapter.
“We are committed to finding a leader who will build upon the strong foundation David has established,” added Johnson. “Our search will focus on identifying someone with proven nonprofit leadership experience, a passion for affordable housing, and the ability to engage our diverse community of supporters.”
The search process is expected to conclude by late 2025, allowing for a smooth transition before David’s retirement. During this transition period, the organization will continue its vital work of building homes and strengthening communities throughout Vermont.
