Leaders in Giving - United Way of Central and Northeastern ...

MESSAGE FROM THE 2013 UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN CHAIRThank you for your generous support of our community at the leadership level giving through UnitedWay in 2012. As the 2013 Chairman of the United Way Campaign, I hope to have the opportunity thisyear to meet many of you at your workplace and to thank you personally for your efforts.While I have contributed for many years, this is more than just participating in Webster Bank’s annualemployee campaign; for me this is personal. Growing up as one of seven children in a working classfamily in Elizabeth, New Jersey, I learned early on about the importance of community. I experiencedthe power of the faith community when they afforded me the opportunity to attend a college prep school.From there, I was well-prepared to attend college which led to a successful career.That’s why we give. Through a gift to United Way Community Investment–at a leadership level–we know that we are making a measurable change in community conditions for children and families.No other organization is as well-positioned to do this, than United Way.Please let me close by saying thank you for your past support and I look forward to your continuedgenerous support in 2013.Joseph J.
