| Many thanks to everyone who has been so warm and supportive during my first month as the new CEO and President of United Way of Northern Arizona. I’ve always been proud of this organization and the work it does.
”Improving lives by mobilizing communities to create lasting changes in community conditions” has always resonated with me. I have been involved with UWNA for over 25 years serving on the Board of Directors, the Community Investment Committee and chairing multiple UWNA campaigns.
My life’s work has been dedicated to building community, promoting equity, and improving lives locally, statewide and nationally. I will continue to bring those values and passion for community to my work at UWNA. As a native of Flagstaff with five generations of my family living in Flagstaff, it is an honor to serve my community through UWNA.
During this time of transition, I want to recognize what has come before me.
I am incredibly grateful for hard work of the UWNA team, led by Carol Dykes, who will be leaving a 24-year legacy when she steps down later this month. Please take a moment to wish Carol the best as she heads into retirement.
My top priority over the next 30 to 60 days is to listen and gain your perspective as we head into the next chapter of UWNA’s great story.
I’m currently scheduling meetings with donors , community leaders, elected officials, agency partners, workplace campaign leaders, and volunteers.
Your input will be essential in helping develop the third stage of this transition, where we embark on our future vision for UWNA. |
