Running a Campaign

United Way's 2011 Campaign Cabinet, chaired by Sallye Liner, is comprised of highly-motivated volunteers from across our community. We are most grateful for their assistance.

• August 31, 2011:  Community Campaign Kickoff at Civic Park (4th and Trade Streets)

Each year, United Way brings together a small, but critically important group of community supporters to act as liaisons between United Way and the hundreds of local United Way campaigns. They are our Loaned Executives.

Loaned Executives work long hours to carry the United Way message to employee campaign meetings, many of which are conducted late in the evening and in the wee hours of the morning. Some are literally loaned by local businesses while other businesses provide United Way with funding necessary to hire Loaned Executives for their 10 week tenure. In either case, Loaned Executives complete their service with the knowledge and satisfaction that they have truly changed lives in our community.

Our 2011 Loaned Executives include:

• Denise Agard
• Heather Bolt
• Amy Bull
• Annette Ellis
• Robert Saunders
• Mari Jo Turner
• Joanne Viren

Our United Way is fortunate to receive support from a large family of local organizations and their employees. Click on the link below for a listing of the organizations that supported the 2010 United Way campaign.
