2024 Ruth Shack LEADERSHIP Award
In October 2024, Executive Director, Annie Lord was honored with the Ruth Shack Leadership Award by the Miami Foundation for her service addressing greater Miami's housing crisis. She joins an astounding group of past awardees who have followed Ruth's example in supporting everyone's ability to thrive in Miami, even as we grow.
Accepting the award, she asked the audience to remember: "Miami has hustle...But Miami doesn't work if the people that make it run can't afford to live here. We have to invest public resources in the affordable housing that we need.”
