Leadership Transition
Dear Friends,
Change is never easy.
I have served as the President and CEO of the United Way of Northern Arizona for the past four years and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my career.
So it is somewhat bittersweet to announce that I plan to step down from my post next month and pursue an opportunity with Coconino Community College, supporting the college in areas of government relations and development.
I leave your United Way in very, very capable hands. We have an engaged and committed board of directors, a strong leadership team and a great staff prepared to take the organization to the next chapter.
Our executive committee has named Vice President Carol Dykes as the interim CEO and is implementing various measures to ensure a seamless transition. Carol has been with UWNA for 20 years and is more than capable to provide the necessary leadership and guidance at this time.
And I won’t be leaving the United Way entirely. My association with UWNA began more than 35 years ago when I was a volunteer. I look forward to returning to that role (and you could argue that being CEO for the past four years will definitely make me a more effective volunteer!)
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the residents of Coconino, Navajo and Apache counties and to work with agency partners who are very committed to life-changing and bold missions. Our donors and collaborators from throughout our region have been there for us through the years as we explored new ways to create positive changes.
In fact, we’ll be honoring many of our partners and supporters at the 2019 Recognition Event on March 6. It will be my last official event as head of UWNA and I would love to see you there. You can register below.
I am excited and hopeful for all of our futures, and fully anticipate that for United Way of Northern Arizona, the best is yet to come!
Sincerely,
Steve Peru
