John Stanton new campaign chair
Wireless industry pioneer John Stanton will be chairing United Way of King County's 2007-2008 fund-raising campaign. Among many notable achievements, he served as chairman and CEO of VoiceStream and T-Mobile USA. He is a terrific motivational speaker and hopes to engage the community with his passion for ending homelessness and making the community aware of the importance of getting children ready for school. We thank him for his leadership and support of United Way's work to create profound and positive change in the lives of thousands of people. Save the date for Day of Caring!

Campaign coordinator conference September 26 Our coordinator conference is a terrific opportunity to meet other coordinators and trade ideas and best practices.

And, if you are a seasoned campaign veteran, use this opportunity to learn about the new happenings at United Way of King County, and share your expertise with others. Be on the lookout for your official evite, which will come next month. Help homeless students succeed in school
