Meet Emerging Leaders 365

“I’ve been connected to the United Way in some capacity throughout my entire professional career and didn’t want to miss an opportunity to give back even more. I’m relatively new to Seattle, but I’m excited to learn about and contribute to the community on a deeper level through Emerging Leaders 365!”

—Maurice Roper | Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco

“It’s always great to give back. My philosophy is that you give when you have abundance, and it comes back to you three to four times over.”

—Iris Oppong | Ardour Sisterz

“I became an Emerging Leader 365 donor because I love the King County area, and decided I wanted to give something back to it. Knowing I’m having a positive impact on our community, even in a small way, is really satisfying.”

“I chose to be a part of United Way of King County because I wanted to be in the community putting in the work and seeing the change I so wish to see in society. Working toward a socially just community where everyone can be seen, heard, and respected is the type of organization I’m proud to be a leader in.”

—Kiki Roper | Windermere

“Working in the ER with society’s most vulnerable communities has allowed me to recognize that a person’s health goes beyond a simple patient visit. I’m thankful to be involved with an organization that addresses the socioeconomic factors of the quality of healthcare someone receives.”

—Cristina Luevano Santos | ScribeAmerica

“I became an Emerging Leader 365 donor because United Way has a huge impact on our community. Due to the size and scale of their programs… my donation dollars go further towards improving the conditions of Homelessness, Financial Stability, and Education.”

—Albert Cheng | Convoy

“I became an Emerging Leaders 365 donor because I wanted to be part of a community of diverse, caring individuals that wanted to empower each other to make Seattle a better place for all humans. When I joined I instantly felt connected and I highly recommend the program and its initiatives.”

—Jon Hermes | PwC
