Campaign Associates
An important component of the success of our annual Community Fund campaign is the Campaign Associate program (formerly known as the Loaned Rep program).
Employees from the public and private sectors are "loaned" by their employers for a 16-week period to help with the campaign. They bring great energy to the campaign and, without them, it would not be possible to raise the needed dollars for our community.
What's in it for employers?
Benefits include:
Increased staff morale when you demonstrate a commitment to your community
Recognition in workplaces, at United Way events, in print publications, on the website and in the local media
A recharged employee - one who has learned new skills, absorbed fresh insights and ideas, made important contacts, is more confident and understands the community better
What's in it for employees?
An opportunity to:
Receive professional training and experience in fundraising, project and time management, public speaking, sales, communications and marketing, negotiation and planning
Improve leadership, management and team-building skills
Learn how a successful campaign works
Build upon existing strengths
Make new contacts and create networking opportunities
Learn about the challenges facing our community and be part of United Way's work that is making a difference in providing long-term solutions
For more information about the Campaign Associate program and the advantages of participating, contact our office at 250-591-8731 or email mrd @uwcnvi.ca .
