EMPLOYEE CAMPAIGN COORDINATOR
The Employee Campaign Coordinator for an organization plays the most important role in the success of an organization's employee campaign. This volunteer's role is to organize a successful employee campaign by working with the CEO/local Chief Executive, the campaign team, and United Way to increase workplace giving.

LOANED EXECUTIVE
United Way encourages local businesses and organizations to select valued employees or retirees to participate in the Loaned Executive Program part-time for about 12 weeks. Loaned Executives assist in implementing workplace campaigns at local businesses and work on other campaign-related projects, such as Community Day and Day of Caring.
