United Way would like to welcome you as a Workplace Champion. Your role is critical.
Without you, we simply could not reach the individuals you work with and help those who want to LIVE UNITED. Thank you for stepping up to join the United Way team!
As a Workplace Champion, you will serve as a cheerleader, storyteller, and the "go-to" person for information about United Way and our programs. It's a big undertaking in addition to the job you do each day! But remember, United Way staff is here to support you with everything you need to help make your company's campaign a success.
The following information has been provided to make running your workplace campaign easier for you. We hope these materials and information will be useful to you throughout the campaign season.
If you have questions, would like to find out more about how your company can get involved in running a United Way campaign, or if you need to update your contact information contact Laurie Cox at 740.369.9618 or click here.

Speakers, Tours and Fairs
Agency Speakers
Want to hear from people in our community that are living united? Want to hear how United Way is advancing the common good by helping one person at a time? Arrange to have a speaker come to your workplace and talk about how they are becoming the change they want to see in our community. Our speakers educate and inspire audiences and are a great way to bring United Way's message to your workplace.
Community Impact Tours
If your group has two or three hours to spare, we have an opportunity that could change your life. Talk with your United Way representative about a community impact tour. During tours, groups are able to tour two or more United Way agencies and hear how contributions are used efficiently and effectively.
Agency Fair
Would you like to plan an agency fair? Arrange to have two or more agencies set up a fair at your workplace. This is a great way to show your employees how their contributions are at work in the community.
