CORPORATE LEADER GUIDE 2018-2019 United Way Dear Corporate Leader, Thank you for serving as a corporate leader for this year’s United Way campaign. If you’ve done it before, welcome back. If you’re new to the role, welcome aboard. Either way, I’m honored to have you on our team, because there’s no better way to lift up those in need and create hope for a better tomorrow. With a United Way Workplace Campaign, you can: • Support local programs making an impact right here in North Texas. • Treat 360 degrees of need by surrounding North Texas with local programs that provide short-term relief and long-term solutions in the areas of education, income and health. • And help put 250,000 people on the path out of poverty, instill a love of learning in the next generation and promote the habits of healthy, productive lives. Your energy and commitment directly affect the success of the United Way campaign at your workplace. This guide offers tips, insights and best practices to make your job easier and ensure a win for everyone involved. Everything we do depends on people like you – those committed to treating 360 degrees of need. Giving your time and talents to vital community efforts can be intensely rewarding. It can also help your company promote team building, staff cohesion and corporate loyalty, so talk to your United Way team about ways to make this happen. And don’t hesitate to call them with any other questions or needs. They stand ready to support you in every possible way. Thank you again for helping us mobilize the caring power of our community.
