The Role: Campaign Representatives

Employees loaned or sponsored to United Way through the Leadership Development Program help to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate United Way's annual Workplace Campaign. They are a key resource during campaign and, with their help, we can be confident that we are developing and managing campaigns that will result in the greatest impact for the community. Campaign Representatives receive professional training and experience in fundraising, project management, public speaking, sales, communications and marketing, negotiation, strategic analysis and planning as well as improved leadership, management and team-building skills.
