Golden Hammer Awards

Each year, we recognize the outstanding volunteers that contribute to Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston's mission and goals. Without the help of volunteers like these, the work that we do at Habitat Greater Boston would not be possible. Volunteers with a minimum of one year of active service to Habitat Greater Boston are encouraged to submit their names for consideration. Please email Maureen Glavin if you have a nomination for the Golden Hammer Award.

Recent Golden Hammer Awards include the following outstanding volunteers:

Alexis Carena
Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston is proud to announce that Alexis Carena, our webmaster, is the recipient of a 2006 Golden Hammer Award!

Alexis’s involvement with Habitat for Humanity began in 1996 when she participated in a group trip to Jonestown, Mississippi to help build a Habitat home. It was a life changing experience and one she will never forget.

After moving to Boston in 1998, Alexis became involved with Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston. Over the course of the next year, Alexis spearheaded the planning and design of the site and became the new webmaster. In 2000, Habitat Greater Boston launched our current website.

In 2002, Alexis moved to northern Virginia where her full time job is handling marketing for a midsized software company. Graciously, she has continued to manage the Habitat Greater Boston website. In her spare time, she spends time with her family, including ex-Habitat Greater Boston Americorps volunteer Chris Boron and their beagle, Kosmo. She also helps manage the website for her brother’s restaurant in Telluride, Colorado.

Alexis has been joined by many other Habitat Boston volunteers over the years that have helped lead the technology and website needs for Habitat. Specifically, there have been several volunteer coordinators over the years that pitched in and assisted with the updates for the website. Alexis would like to thank all of them for their support and assistance over the years.

Alexis’ tireless and dedicated service to Habitat Boston over the last 8+ years has certainly earned her this award. Without her continued diligence and attention to our website, much of our community would have limited access to the happenings at Habitat Boston. It is with great pleasure that we recognize her. Alexis, thank you for all you have done and continue to do!
