Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity has appointed Anna Peterson as its new vice president of people and culture.
Habitat officials say the appointment comes at a critical moment in the organization’s effort toward inclusivity and equity.
Peterson previously worked at the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, where she started in 2019 as chief of staff and later served as the head of people and culture.
At DEED, Peterson worked to spearhead strategies for staff members.
“When I started we really needed a cultural transformation, so what we focused on was the question ‘What do our workers need to better serve the people of Minnesota’,” she said.
Peterson was drawn to the job description for the role at Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. In Peterson’s eyes it seemed to be “meant for me.”
Robyn Bipes-Timm, the chief strategy and operations officer at Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, commended Peterson’s appointment, emphasizing her equity-centered leadership style and expressing confidence that her guidance would be instrumental in advancing the organization’s mission of promoting affordable homeownership and racial equity in housing.
