Catherine McManus, President & CEO, Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County
Catherine Steck McManus is an accomplished and award-winning executive who leads Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County’s mission to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope. An advocate for fair-housing policies, McManus utilizes nearly 25 years of Central Florida nonprofit experience in her role as president and CEO to support the vision that everyone deserves safe, affordable housing. 
 
In 2019, Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings appointed McManus to serve on the Housing for All Workgroup. One year prior, she led the expansion of the Habitat Greater Orlando affiliate to add Osceola County, growing the support for affordable housing in Central Florida.
 
McManus currently serves on the board of directors for Habitat for Humanity Florida, U.S. Council for Habitat for Humanity International and Central Florida Regional Housing Trust. She also serves on the advisory council for UCF’s College of Community Innovation and Education.
 
McManus’ community and professional service was recognized this year by Orlando Business Journal, which named McManus one of its 2022 Women Who Mean Business, in 2019 by i4 Business as one of Central Florida’s Inspired Women Leaders, and in 2018 by Orlando Magazine, which named her one of its Women of the Year.


Camille Reynolds Lewis, Executive Director, Hannibal Square Community Trust
Camille Reynolds Lewis is executive director for the Hannibal Square Community Land Trust (HSCLT) in Winter Park, FL.  Camille served on the board of HSCLT for 5 years with one year as board president prior to being selected as its executive director.
 
Prior to her role as executive director for this non-profit, affordable housing organization, Camille’s professional background was in public administration. She served as Environmental Programs Administrator for Orange County government as well as Senior Aide to the Chief Administrative Officer and Capital Projects Manager with the City of Orlando.  Her primary role was managing projects that related to community outreach and overseeing various local government-sponsored community events.
 
Camille holds a master’s degree in Environmental Horticulture from the University of Florida and a Bachelor of Science from Ohio University.
 
She became interested in community land trusts and affordable housing when she moved to the Hannibal Square neighborhood in Winter Park and realized that homes were being priced out of affordability for the average income earner.  Her curiosity led her to the Hannibal Square Community Land Trust and a deeper understanding about the lack of affordable rental and ownership options in Central Florida.  That experience stirred a passion in her for providing housing options for this neglected sector of the market.
 
Camille completed the Certificate in Real Estate Development (CRED) program with the University of South Florida’s Institute of Government in 2019 and participated with the HSCLT team in the 2019 Enterprise Community Partners’ Affordable Housing Leadership Institute—a three-day program working with Rose Fellows on excellence in affordable housing design.  She was also selected to serve on Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings’ Housing for All Task Force where she worked in the Innovation and Sustainability Subcommittee.  The Housing for All Task Force was comprised of 38 members of the housing, construction, and business community tasked with developing an action plan for short- and long-term solutions to the housing crisis in Orange County.  We met over a 7-month period and presented our action plan to the Mayor and County Commission in October 2019.
 
Camille is an unwavering advocate of homeownership as a means of building wealth and views the community land trust model as a means of moving families from the rent rolls to property ownership and financial stability.
