DANVERS — Meegan O’Neil will step down from her role as Essex County Habitat for Humanity executive director in June after seven years of service, according to officials there.
By guiding the merger of the North Shore and Merrimack Valley Habitat affiliates into Essex County Habitat, O’Neil helped create an organization that now serves nearly twice as many families and individuals each year as the former affiliates did combined. She also successfully led the organization through the challenges of the pandemic and expanded Critical Home Repair into a core program with a steady source of funding that continues to grow into new communities each year.
