2022 Impact Report

THANK YOU, STAFF

Our team is comprised of intelligent, generous, and hard-working individuals who drive our mission forward . They are our greatest asset. Every shared idea and seized opportunity brought real change in our communities. Their passion for our work inspires. We asked members of our team why they chose to work for United Way. Their answers are just as inspiring as they are.

“ I have found my purpose and passion in leading the Leadership Development Programs. For me, it’s the people. Every new program participant or graduate I have met inspires me every day. I love hearing a graduate tell me their class was the best. Serving as the director to prepare individuals who want to impact their communities has been one of the most rewarding opportunities in my career. I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve our community.” Sheila M. Strong, Ed.D. Director of Leadership Development & Equity “I work for the United Way because I’m grateful to take even the smallest part in helping to lift our community . I get to work with some of the smartest, kindest, most driven people, and see the tangible changes that they are making each day.” Jen Gaffey-Link, CPA Controller

“I came for the mission, and stay for the people. From day one, I witnessed colleagues around me living values that aligned with my own and carrying out United Way’s mission with so much heart, loyalty, and grit. Our world and local community have gone through so much change, and United Way has been proactive and adaptable to meet the changing needs of not only the community, but its employees as well. United Way sees its employees as whole people. The support and goodness that surrounds me each day is why I work at United Way.”
