The United Way of Kennebec Valley hosted their Annual Meeting at the Augusta Civic Center on February 11th, 2015. This meeting reported results of our fundraising efforts in 2014 and the impact UWKV will have in 2015. Part of the meeting was dedicated to recognizing retiring Board Members and nominating new Board Members for a 3 year term starting in 2015.

The retiring Board Members include Sue Colwill of Central Maine Power and Aaron Stred of NRF Distributors. Both Sue and Aaron served two consecutive three-year terms, and are now required to take at least one year off of the Board before returning. We appreciate the dedication that Sue and Aaron have shown United Way and value their commitment to our community.

The new Board Members who were nominated at the annual meeting are: Bruce Osborne of the State of Maine, Molly Gerencer of Bangor Savings Bank, Sara Bangs of the Bank of Maine, Tony Routh of Key Bank, Pastor Justin Frank of Penney Memorial Baptist Church, Greg Boyd of Alternative Manufacturing, and Chelsey Fortin of the Maine Department of Education. Each of these Board Members were approved by the current Board and began their first of a possible two three-year term in April.

Also at the meeting, the Norm Temple Volunteer Award and the Community Builder Award. For more information on these awards and their 2015 recipients, click here.
