“United Way allows you to connect with the right people at the right time to make the greatest impact. Their leadership team is at the heart of everything they do. And we all know as business professionals, success starts and ends with strong leadership.”

“United Way has provided different hands-on and educational opportunities for kids and their parents/family members to be involved in together, which is great.”

A favorite memory of mine is being at one of the WLC networking soirees with a mix of old friends and new acquaintances. We were talking about other recent volunteering events through the United Way as well as some of the professional and social events, and just realizing the vast network of good that is done all the time through United Way.

Meet Dai Ferguson

As Accounts Payable Specialist, Dai performs weekly vendor payments, communicates with partners to maintain up-to-date payment information, creates instructions for accounting processes and much more. A typical day could include all of these responsibilities plus any accounting tasks that come up. Whatever happens, she’s ready for it.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute of WLC – from the networking events, to working alongside influential CEO’s, attorneys, and community leaders to help make a difference. WLC offers a front row seat to truly understand the diverse needs of our community.”

Meet Leigh Orbich

It’s not often you get to change lives but Leigh Orbich gets to make an impact every day at the 211 Contact Center.

Meet Lisa Kelly

Meeting new people has been Lisa Kelly’s specialty for more than two decades, and she loves every minute of it. As one of United Way’s Tocqueville Development Officers, Lisa works directly with Tocqueville Society members and helps them become involved in the work of UWSWPA.

“People may not realize there’s a lot of work and research behind United Way and the way they allocate these funds. The organization realizes that the people who live here know what they need best, and the organization listens.”
