Leaders in Giving The Leadership Circle Dr. Thomas K. Hearn, Jr., then president of Wake Forest University, initiated the Leadership Circle in 1986. His goal was to increase the involvement of professionals in addressing human service needs through United Way of Forsyth County. In its first year, the Leadership Circle had 400 members and gave $550,000 to United Way. The Leadership Circle has grown dramatically since its inception. In 2009, 3,902 members gave a total of $8,264,545, 48 percent of the overall campaign. When corporate giving and grants are excluded, giving by Leadership Circle members comprised 68 percent of all employee and individual giving. United Way of Forsyth County is pleased to acknowledge the philanthropy of our Leadership Circle givers. Their substantial investment in our community is advancing the common good by creating real, long-lasting change that will prevent many problems from occurring in the first place.

The Women’s Leadership Council In 2009, the Women’s Leadership Council built on its charter year successes. Forsyth Medical Center’s Sallye A. Liner served as chair, Hanesbrands’ Nadine Hall served as vice chair, and Reynolds American’s Susan Ivey served as the honorary chair. The mission of the Women’s Leadership Council is to engage, educate and empower women to make a positive impact in Forsyth County. The Women’s Leadership Council’s mission is generously supported by a $1 million grant from the R. J. Reynolds Foundation which allows new members access to matching funds totaling $200,000 annually for five years. In 2009, the Women’s Leadership Council grew to 825 members and raised $350,000 in addition to the $200,000 R.J. Reynolds Foundation match. The Women’s Leadership Council is aligned with Graduating Our Future, United Way’s “breakthrough initiative” to improve the high school graduation rate to 90 percent by 2018 and supports three successful programs at Philo Magnet Academy. While the United Way benefits each year from the women in this community who support all of our work, the Women’s Leadership Council provides a more focused approach designed to deal with specific issues. To acknowledge their support, members are listed in the Women’s Leadership Council booklet and are also identified in Leaders in Giving by the w following their names. We are most grateful to them for their generous, caring spirit demonstrated by joining us in this new endeavor to improve the quality of life for all in our community. 5 Leaders in Giving The Women’s Leadership Council
