Executives ready for UW campaign

LEWISTON – With the 2008 community fundraising campaign under way, five businesses are supporting United Way of Androscoggin County by loaning individuals from their companies to assist with a community goal of $1,900,000.

Loaned executives assist with the development and execution of workplace campaigns by conducting presentations to local businesses and groups of employees. The loaned executives participated in a week-long training where they developed leadership, presentation, project management and public speaking skills, as well as a deeper knowledge of the impact United Way has in Androscoggin County.
