Gene Stelten of Roswell has received Habitat for Humanity International’s 2010 Clive Rainey Lifetime Achievement Award. The award, named after the organization's first volunteer, recognizes Stelten for 26 years of volunteerism, beginning with the Atlanta affiliate on its first home. In 1992, he helped found the north Fulton affiliate.

Over the years, Stelten has served on the board of directors and led regular fundraisers for the chapter. Proceeds from his four books have generated more than $100,000 for the effort.
