2008 Loaned Executive program commitment form

What is the Loaned Executive program?

During the peak campaign season, United Way calls on its corporate partners to lend their best and brightest employees. Loaned Executives (LEs) assist United Way staff in the development and implementation of workplace campaigns.

Specifically, LEs lend their expertise and energy to help United Way expand solicitation efforts, reach new markets and broaden the base of community giving. In doing so, LEs help strengthen the United Way commitment to what matters in metro Atlanta—mobilizing the caring power of the community to help one another by making lasting improvements on human care issues.

Why is the program important?

Loaned Executives keep fundraising costs low bymaximizing staff and volunteer efforts. In return, United Way provides a unique management program that develops sales and executive leadership skills and an understanding of community organization. The Loaned Executive program is an excellent investment for your company, the loaned employee and the community.
