Letters to the Editor: Merging United Ways Was The Best Move
May 13, 2008
Merging United Ways was the best moveFriday’s article, “United Way Groups to Merge,” shows what success looks like when caring people are committed to serving our community in the strongest possible way.
As chief professional officer of the Naperville United Way for the past eight years, I commend our outstanding volunteer leaders for making this change, ensuring that Naperville’s most pressing human care needs can be met more effectively.
While we achieved our campaign goal this year, the rapidly growing needs of people in our community require us to think beyond “business as usual,” not only spending dollars wisely but identifying ways to reduce costs and engage more donors.
Combining Naperville United Way and United Way of the DuPage Area is our best option to do just that. I have never been so proud of what we have accomplished together and congratulate the Naperville United Way board for making the right decision.
