The Hardin County United Way provided the Icon with this February update:
We are creating a robust Campaign Cabinet to help plan and implement this year’s Annual Giving Campaign. Duties will include helping to find and reach out to businesses to host workplace campaigns, helping to train points of contact at their workplaces, helping to plan and execute events, and having a general passion for helping our community. The goal is to make this more focused on community member involvement than just having a couple of Board members. Meetings will start off once per month but will end up being more as needed to help the campaign.
We have about 6-8 open seats on the board of directors. We’re looking for connected, active, and passionate community members to help steer the United Way into our future while also doing the work needed to get there. Meetings are once per month for about an hour, and there will also be committee work as needed. The only requirement to be on the Board is to donate to the United Way at least annually.
