message from the president
First and foremost, I thank you, our community investors that contributed to the United Way this past year. Our investors pledged well over $445,000 during this challenging year, due to the economic turn down effecting our community, state and nation. It is appropriate to recognize those campaigns that exceeded their previous year’s pledges and they are Central Michigan University, City of Mount Pleasant, DTE Energy, Fabiano Brothers, Fifth-Third Bank, Isabella Bank, Isabella Country Transportation Commission, Isabella County, Mears Engineering, Middle Michigan Development Corporation, Morbark, and United Way of Isabella County staff.
The United Way is moving towards initiatives that impact our community. Our transition period has begun. Our focus will be on three key Impact areas that promote Educational Preparedness, Financial Stability and Basic Needs & Crisis Intervention. We will and are a convener and leader in creating lasting changes. It is no longer about the annual campaign, it is about lasting results.
It has been sincere pleasure to serve the United Way and the community this past year. I look forward completing our transition and to the challenges that we face in the year ahead.
Sincerely,
Tim Snellenberger
