FROM OUR CEO

NEW TEAM MEMBERS

Welcome to our reformatted UnitedWay of Southwest Virginia newsletter! You’ll notice

some changes that might have you worried about the cost. Please know that we are

decreasing the number of times we send the newsletter to two a year, to cut down on

the cost of postage and production. We hope you will enjoy the new, magazine-style

format.

like Smart Beginnings, Virginia Quality, the Healthy Community Action Team and

others, make sure you visit

While you are there you can sign

I am impressedwith the number of caring people

all across our community. Our partner agencies provide the passion, expertise and resources to advance the

common good. The agencies we work with are focused on education, income and health – the building blocks

for a good quality of life. The people who work in the agencies commit long hours to create a better region for

all of us to live, work and raise families.

Finally, I am happy to introduce Carolyn Koesters, Cassandra Caffee, Mary Anne Holbrook, and Briana Morris.

All four of these ladies are welcome additions to our team.
