A Stellar Year of Impact And Gratitude For United Way NEXT
Looking back on the past year, we’re filled with gratitude for what this community made possible. Every milestone reached was the result of a united effort from our members, volunteers, donors, partners, and staff. Along the way, our 35th Anniversary gave us the chance to reflect, celebrate how far we’ve come, and recognize the people who continue to shape this community every day.
Honoring Service And Welcoming New Voices On The United Way NEXT Board
At United Way NEXT, our strength has always come from the people who step forward to lead with purpose, generosity, and heart. As we move into a new chapter, we’re proud to honor the leaders who have completed their board service, celebrate those continuing their commitment, and welcome new voices to help guide our work in the years ahead!
A New Year of Transformation With Board Chair Ann Fox
Happy New Year! I don’t know about you, but I have long since given up on New Year Resolutions. Instead, I like to reflect on the year that has passed and think about all the new year has to offer. Which brings me to this letter.
As the new chair of the United Way NEXT board, I am looking forward to this year of transformation. That’s my word of the year, so you will hear it a lot from me. Maybe you already have!
United Way NEXT Welcomes Over 125 New Members in 2025
United Way NEXT is excited to share that in 2025 we welcomed 129 new members into our community! We’re also thrilled to recognize 30* additional members who rejoined after time away. This growth reflects the continued momentum behind our mission and the strong sense of connection that brings United Way professionals and alumni together. From individual members to local United Ways, each new member adds experience, perspective, and purpose to our network. We’re so glad you’re here 💙
The True Impact of Your United Way NEXT membership Renewal
As 2025 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the incredible year we have shared as a community. With every connection, referral, mentoring match, coaching session, event, and interaction, we are so happy to be in service to you.
These last few weeks, our UW NEXT team and Relationship Managers have been wrapping up the outreach efforts for membership renewals so we can end the year strong. We recognize that none of what we do can be done alone and we are counting on the members who volunteer, give their time, and invest financially through their annual membership payments and additional contributions.
