neighborhood revitalization and developed
a strong resource base of volunteers and
donors, with an annual fund-raising goal of
$2.4 million. He is currently an officer on
the board of the Gold Coast Builders

Rotarian and plans to contin
ue his involvement with both
organizations in Winston
Salem.
"The Habitat Forsyth
affiliate could not be more
pleased that Mike Campbell
will succeed Sylvia as execu
tive director," said Mark
Dunnagan, Habitat Forsyth
Board President. "He brings
a wealth of knowledge and experience
with Habitat for Humanity, and we feel
that he is the perfect fit to responsibly build
on the growth our affiliate has seen in
recent years. We feel sure he will increase
our ability to positively affect more fami
lies and individuals in Forsyth County in
the years to come."
Prior to his time with Habitat for
Humanity, Campbell worked with commu
nities and families throughout five states as
a director for YMCA and City Parks and

Ohio. He is a graduate of the University of
Kentucky and has an MBA from Averett

two adult children. He says he is looking
forward to being closer to his parents, who
reside in Chapel Hill.
"Habitat Forsyth for Humanity is an
opportunity to continue using my skills at
an organization I am very passionate
about. I am thrilled to be coming 'home' to
North Carolina and join a magnificent
team that has created a foundation for con
tinued success," Campbell said. "I am
excited to continue their work with high
school/college youth chapters across die
country, local paitners, families, and vol
unteers as we improve communities and
address the affordable housing need."
Oberle, who is retiried May 1, said she
too is excited about Campbell's appoint
ment. "I believe he has the skills and expe
rience to continue our significant growth in

with multiple ReStore locations will also
be a plus as that part of Habitat's mission
continues to expand."
