Board of Directors

Suzanne Young-Mercer

Board President

I am happy to be a Board member of Habitat for Humanity because of the work they do to “help build homes for those in need across the world.” I believe it is a human right that every person has a place to call their own, and what Habitat for Humanity does is to ensure that happens for one family at a time. I also believe that while I am here, I need to make life better for all that I can while I can. That is why I volunteer.

Dennis Mooney

Board Vice President

Throughout my business career I have always felt a responsibility to give back to the community. I served as a Board member of the Arthritis Foundation for sixteen years. In 2000 I was invited to play in the MCHFH Annual Golf Tournament and realized their mission is so vital and this is what I do every day. Since then I have served on the Board of Directors and I chair our Annual Golf Tournament each year!

Paul Suhrie

Board Treasurer

I am truly humbled by being asked to serve on the board of directors for Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County.

I think God has a way of putting people in the right place at the right time with the right experience and skills to serve his people.

With 30 years of experience in retail management and 14 years as a Home Inspector I feel my skill set, aligns perfectly with Habitat for Humanity of Monroe Counties mission. I am now prepared with this opportunity to give back to my community in a meaningful way.

As a real estate broker in the Poconos, I understand the importance of home ownership. I am passionate about Habitat for Humanity’s vision to build strength, stability and self-reliance in partnership with families in need of decent and affordable housing. This is why I dedicate my time and resources to volunteer with this wonderful community of individuals.
