Barbara was living in Orange County, California and says she loved the feeling of improving neighborhoods. Rehabilitating homes was a wonderful way for her to spend her free time. When she was laid off from her computer sales position after 14 years, she was asked to lead the local office for her Habitat affiliate. She admits now that she wasn\u2019t sure if she would like the work but says it really suited her skills well. Twenty years later, the Odessa resident who has been married for 9 years to Walter Inman, Jr., is working for her third Habitat for Humanity affiliate in Pinellas County as the president and CEO. \u201cEvery day is an adventure,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What is one of your favorite charity events in Tampa Bay? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Of course, it is the Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County annual <i>Hammers and Heartstrings Gala<\/i>!<\/p>\n<p><b>As a leading lady, what is one of your proudest accomplishments?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Habitat Pinellas took 18 years to build its first 100 homes (completed in 2003).

Further, we just received our sixth consecutive 4-star Charity Navigator award; fewer than 3-percent of the charities they review achieve this milestone. Our staff and board believe in continuous improvement, and I am proud that it has paid off in being able to serve more and more families in Pinellas County.<\/p>\n<p><b>How do you like to unwind? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Biking, running, yoga, reading, gardening, sporting events, visiting with friends\/family, and movies\u2014not necessarily in that order<\/p>\n<p><b>Who do you most admire in Tampa Bay? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Christine Allamanno of Gulf Coast Legal Services.
