first and only group she is meeting with while she is here is the Labor
Council. Dennis stated he was with the United Way for 17 years and when he
looks back over the years he has enjoyed working with organized labor very much.
Dennis talked about all the projects that we worked on together and how when
Kimberly Clark closed down they were able to take on a couple of their
employees to help counsel and assist the employees there that were losing their
jobs. Dennis talked about how after he took over as CEO he went around
organized labor looking for ways to better work together, and out of that we
got and Ann Seabot and now Betty Welsh. He stated
United Way now has the Labor Advisory Council. Dennis added heŐs impressed with
how much labor does for the community from all the different programs like Toys
for Tots and collecting underwear and that labor is always one of the first
groups to step up.
Allison Warren Barbor introduced herself and stated that her career with
United Way started in Atlanta, Georgia where she worked with several companies
there that were union such as Coca-Cola. Allison stated sheŐs very excited
about the challenge of her new job and added that partnering with labor was a
priority in their goals of breaking the cycle of poverty. She stated she has
very big shoes to fill.
A break was
taken so the delegates could enjoy some cake and to celebrate DennisŐs
retirement.
