"I look forward to the many great projects we'll work on together in the future and can't wait to start making some positive changes for those in need."
Haase is currently responsible for developing and leading the strategies for the company's extensive brand portfolio, marketing, eCommerce, franchise operations and central reservations worldwide for Choice Hotels. He will now bring his expertise and familiarity with the company's signature cause partner in helping to realize the mission and vision of Rebuilding Together as a member of its national board.
"Mr. Haase has an impressive record as an operational and financial leader. He will be a valuable resource and addition to the National Board," said Gary A. Officer, president and CEO of Rebuilding Together. "We look forward to working with him to advance the mission and vision of Rebuilding Together."
