“The United Way model has really struck a chord, not only for me personally, but for my family as well.  We can’t imagine another organization having a more profound effect on the basic health and human service needs of the communities we live in.  The chance to lead the campaign is really a wonderful opportunity to give back in some small way, and in the process make a genuine and positive difference in the lives of others.”

“I served for three years on the Community Impact committee with a wide variety of community volunteers evaluating the agencies served by United Way.  The depth and scope of the services these agencies provide and their ability to stretch community dollars to maximum effect made me want to do more.  The United Way is a community treasure and working on its behalf is a labor of love.”
