It’s amazing to think about how my volunteer
experiences - from the time I was 8 years old growing up in South Bend,
Indiana until I was a college student at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan - prepared me for a
40 year career in volunteer management with Metro United Way.
What brought me to Metro United Way in 1975? I had a degree in Urban Studies (note that there was no degree in volunteer management back then, but there is today!) with lots of volunteer experience; my dad was an active volunteer for United Way in our home communities and suggested I send my resume to United Way Worldwide. I completed their intern program and landed a job in Louisville with Metro United Way. While there have been some tough times and challenges in my career, I’ve embraced the mission of Metro United Way and the community that adopted me.
A few highlights?
