Hello Members, We received the following information from United Way of America on yesterday, and wanted to share!
United Way Leaders,  United Way of America's (UWA's) Board of Governors met this afternoon to consider the Executive Search Committee's recommendation regarding UWA's next President and CEO.
It is with great pleasure that I report that we have unanimously named Brian A. Gallagher, currently President of United Way of Central Ohio in Columbus, Ohio, as our new President and CEO of UWA.
Brian is a well-known and highly respected leader.
To formally introduce you to Brian in his new role, I am convening a series of conference calls tomorrow, Tuesday, November 6, 2001, in advance of the announcement to the media and press.
We anticipate a large volume of participants on these calls, so we ask that you call during your region's assigned time and 15 minutes in advance of the call.
