Mary Bickerstaff: I can definitely see that as a challenge. We've had some of that here at the Chamber as well. Reggie Hammond: Okay.

What should United Way want to achieve in its future? Matt Atkins: I think we should desire to be the premier not-for-profit in the community that people want to give their monies to because they know that we're going to make the most impact in the community. I mean, I don't know what else we would try to achieve other than that, because it's sort of all encompassing, right?
Reggie Hammond: Right.
Matt Atkins: Everybody wants to give to United Way. The reason they want to give to United Way is because we're going to have the greatest impact on our community. What greater role could we fill than that?
Reggie Hammond: Okay. Mary Bickerstaff: I agree-
Rachelle K. Scott: I also... Oh, go ahead, Mary.
Mary Bickerstaff: I agree with that statement. And I think it's important to just continue to maintain that great reputation, because people are going to do business, they're going to give to organizations that they trust to do the right thing. So they know you, they like you, they trust you, they respect you to do the right thing, and they'll continue to give. So, you want to continue to achieve that level of excellence.
Reggie Hammond: Mm-hmm (affirmative) That's great. Rachelle.
