LHFH Announces New Members to its Board of Directors

The 2024 Board of Directors Attends Annual Orientation & Training

LEXINGTON (August 1, 2024) – Lexington Habitat for Humanity is delighted to welcome four new members to its board of directors: Carson Baughman, Peter Carew, Amanda Lockaby, and Boyd Sewe.

 

The organization is approaching significant milestones — this fall, it is slated to serve its 500th homebuyer family — and is thrilled for this exceptional group of professionals to usher in a new chapter.

 

Carson Baughman serves as director of development for Cowgill, Inc. His professional experience developing local — and primarily multi-family — real estate has honed his strong understanding of the economics of housing, layouts and feasibility. His expertise yields invaluable insights into the local real estate market. A Lexington native, Baughman looks forward to contributing creative ideas about ways that Lexington Habitat can address current housing challenges. Baughman also continues to serve as a Lexington Habitat Ambassador.

 

Peter Carew joins the board of directors as project engineer at Gray Construction. His extensive experience in the construction industry and his previous roles with Habitat for Humanity in both Bloomington, IN, and at the Lexington affiliate position him as an invaluable addition to the board of directors. Carew has been a lifelong supporter of Habitat; he had his first experience supporting volunteers on a build site at the age of ten.

 

Amanda Lockaby is a co-managing partner of Lexington law firm Lockaby PLLC. She first became involved with Lexington Habitat while serving as president of the Fayette County Bar Association’s Women Lawyer’s Association in 2017 and has since spent five years as a Lexington Habitat Ambassador. Lockaby has witnessed firsthand the unique shifts in Lexington’s housing market over the years and has a deep understanding of the complex challenges of providing affordable housing in the current climate. 

 

Boyd Sewe is a senior planner at Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. He comes to Lexington Habitat’s board of directors with a background in urban design, planning and community engagement. Through his diverse professional experience, Sewe has witnessed the impact of affordable housing on individuals and communities, and he looks forward to turning this passion into action as a member of the board.

 

Additionally, Lexington Habitat is thrilled to welcome new members to the executive committee. Beverly Gamrat (Baptist Health) will serve as vice-chair, Autumn Goderwis (Franklin County Planning & Zoning) as secretary and Tiffany Brown (Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government) as treasurer. McKay Moore maintains his position as chair of the board.

 

Lexington Habitat’s board of directors sets the organization’s strategic direction, makes high-level policies and supports the vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. “We are excited to welcome our new board members and look forward to working with both new and returning members as we tackle the pressing challenges of affordable housing in our community. Their diverse expertise and experience are invaluable assets in our mission to ensure everyone has a safe, decent and affordable place to live. Together, we will make significant strides in transforming lives and strengthening our community,” said CEO Darryl Neher.

 

Lexington Habitat would also like to thank outgoing board members Brooke Hansen (Chick-Fil-A Turfland), Rob Lawsen (Thrivent Financial), Brandi Peacher (Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government), Kyle Wicker (Cumberland Valley National Bank) and Stephen Sanders (Appalachian Citizens’ Law Center, Inc.) for their service and dedication.
