  • Omni Development Corporation appoints new Executive Director

    Omni
    Development Corporation is proud to announce the selection of Sharon Morris as
    its new Executive Director. The Board of Directors of Omni Development
    Corporation, under the leadership of its board Chairman and President, Laurence

    during the selection and interview process.



     



    The
    board extends its sincere appreciation for the hard work and dedication of
    Lawrence Brown, CPA, outgoing executive director, for sustaining the
    organization for the past two years after the passing of Omni’s longtime
    executive director, Joseph Caffey whose name and dedication were synonymous
    with Omni‘s excellent work and existence. Ms. Denise Ruffin, Director of Asset
    Management for the organization, has been appointed by the Board in the interim
    and will have full operational control until Ms. Morris assumes her position.



     



    With
    Ms. Morris’ extensive background in affordable housing, and her long-standing
    commitment and national experience, the board looks forward to her leadership,
    strong advocacy and perseverance to achieve the goals the board has set for the
    future of Omni Development Corporation and its service to those in need of
    affordable housing in the Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

    Morris grew up in South Providence, and is a graduate of Central High School.
    She received her B.A. Degree from Livingstone College (Salisbury, NC) and M.A.
    Degree from the University of Rhode Island (Kingston, RI).
