Employee Campaign Coordinator Toolkit

Dear Campaign Coordinators:

Welcome! It is truly a privilege for us to join you as we begin our 2009 Campaign. Thank you for giving of your time, your energy and especially your heart to take on the very important job as Employee Campaign Coordinator for your company.

We are excited to partner with you and the hundreds of other coordinators throughout Smith County to raise awareness about the significant issues facing our community and to create the positive change needed to address those challenges. You are a part of a group of caring individuals who work to make measurable improvements in the lives of thousands who work and live here.

United Way of Tyler Smith County is committed to helping you run a successful campaign. The dollars we raise together will allow more children to be ready to succeed in school and youth to fulfill their potential. Gifts to United Way promote economic stability and independence for individuals and families as well as improve access to critical health services for all. They also support a vital network of programs that help folks when they need it most.

This toolkit is your foundation for a rewarding, successful campaign. The resources and tips provided will help you plan an enjoyable, meaningful and efficient campaign. You also have the support of United Way staff, loaned executives and volunteers.

If we all work together with commitment, creativity and heart, we can change our community in fundamental, lasting ways. LIVE UNITED means that together, we can accomplish more that any one of us can do alone. And when we reach out a hand to one, we improve the lives of many.

Thank you for accepting this opportunity to join us in this important work.

Sincerely,

Sheri Redden
Campaign Director
Tyler/ Smith County
