Who We Are


Staff

Audrey Lyon, Executive Director is an attorney with extensive experience in housing and community development. Before coming to Yachad, nearly 18 years ago, Audrey was the Executive Director and senior attorney with Lawyers Committee for Better Housing, a housing advocacy organization in Chicago, Illinois. She is a graduate of Northwestern University and Chicago-Kent School of Law. Although everyone teases her about her absence on work sites, she is the backbone of Yachad.


Kendra Rubinfeld, Program Coordinator, graduated from Bard College in 2005 with a B.A. in Psychology and a concentration in Film and Jewish Studies. She is now studying for her Masters in Communications at Johns Hopkins University. Before coming to Yachad in August of 2006, Kendra worked as an office administrator at a DC law firm and at a travel agency in Italy. Although she misses the hot Tuscan sun, she loves working directly with homeowners and volunteers as well as getting down and dirty on Ramp It Up! sites as a counselor.


Richard Feldman, Construction Manager, has been working in the building and housing field for nearly twenty years. His years of experience in supervising professionals and teaching volunteers on work sites come in handy as he is the go-to-guy on almost every Yachad volunteer work project.
