Loaned Executive Program
The United Way Loaned Executive program is vital to the overall success of the United Way Community Campaign. These special volunteers are responsible to raise about 60% of the campaign goal. Each executive volunteers between 40 and 50 hours during United Way's nine-week fund drive. They attend a two-day training and learn about the United Way member agencies, their programs, and much about United Way's operating policies and procedures. The loaned executives meet with CEO's and give presentations to thousands of employees at their workplace. There is no charge to participant in the program.This is an especially great learning opportunity for new managers or people new to Klamath County. The 2010 Lonaed Executive Management Development program training will be held September
1st and 2nd. The 2009 program was chaired by Kingsley Field Commander,
Colonel Jim Miller. Call United Way for more details.
