UAF Corporate Enrollment Liaison, Retired​​

“I joined the board of United Way of the Tanana Valley after I participated in the Allocation process. The partner agencies presented information about the impact of their work, and I was deeply moved and frankly astounded by the many important issues they address in our community. From providing Meals on Wheels for seniors, assisting and teaching young parents the ins and outs of parenthood, feeding and housing the homeless, to contributing to our community‘s literacy, providing adult mentors to children, serving Alaskans with disabilities and so much more. I love the United Way and care about the difference we and our partner agencies make for our neighbors!”
