For every annual campaign, local businesses and organizations lend or sponsor talented people to work full-time for 12 weeks. Campaign Executives serve as spokespersons and fundraisers, assisting local employers in conveying the work, message and vision of the United Way.
Additionally, members of the community may volunteer their time to work as Campaign Executives.
Campaign Executives strengthen their professional skills, build valuable relationships, enhance their visibility and raise millions for the community.
If you are an employer or an employee interested in participating in our Campaign Executive Program, please contact Richard Emerson at 360.733.8670.
The Campaign Executive Program offers:
Intensive training in sales and public speaking
High visibility in newspaper ads, United Way publications and each workplace the employee visits
