Twenty-four individuals were recently selected to participate in United Way’s Catalyst program. The new class of business leaders, identified by the Catalyst Alumni Council, will participate in the nine-month (September – May) program to become engaged in social responsibility through the means of advocacy, giving and volunteerism.
Annie Cotter, Director of Strategic Engagement & Stewardship for United Way, said, “Catalyst is truly building the leaders of tomorrow, today. This year’s group is eager and ready to take on the challenges that face our community with bold ideas and innovative solutions.”
The program’s ultimate goal is to train volunteers to serve in nonprofit leadership roles, such as nonprofit boards.
