United Way Community Campaign

The 2011 United Way Community Campaign raised $751,000. Mitch Stokes, branch manager of Northwest Farm Credit Services was the Campaign Chairman and the campaign raised $28,000 new dollars for 3.9% more than what was raised in 2010. It also repre- sented 99% of our $760,000 goal, and the first campaign increase in the last three years. Thank you everyone for your support.

The 2012 community campaign will kick off on Tuesday, Sept. 11th from 12 noon to 1 p.m. at a location to be determined. Jeff Daniels, manager of Avista Utilities will serve as the campaign chairman. A goal will be set on May 22, 2012.

 


                       Loaned Executive Program

The United Way Loaned Executive program is vital to the overall success of the United Way Community Campaign. These special volunteers are responsible to raise about 60% of the campaign goal. Each executive volunteers between 40 and 50 hours during United Way's nine-week fund drive. They attend a two-day training and learn about the United Way member agencies, their programs, and much about United Way's operating policies and procedures. The loaned executives meet with CEO's and give presentations to thousands of employees at their workplace. There is no charge to participant in the program.

This is an especially great learning opportunity for new managers or people new to Klamath County. The 2012 Lonaed Executive Management Development program will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 5th and Thursday, Sept. 6th. For more information and to participate, please contact Leroy Cabral at United Way, 882-5558. Below is the Loaned Executive Class of 2011.
