Volunteer Leadership

United Way is volunteer-driven. Our success - our ability to advance the common good - relies on the support of enthusiastic and committed volunteers who steer our Board of Directors, conduct our fundraising campaigns, allocate funds raised to worthy agencies and projects and monitor the results of those decisions.
