Anthony Maione, President & CEO
Anthony Maione became president and chief executive officer of United Way of Rhode Island in January 2005.
Maione joined UWRI in May 2003 as executive vice president for resource development and strategic planning. He was named chief operating officer in May 2004.
Maione has played a lead role in UWRI's transformation to an impact focused approach in its community work. Under his leadership, United Way is also taking a more active role in finding solutions to crucial human care issues the community faces.
Before joining United Way, Maione served as executive director of the Rhode Island region of the National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ). Under his leadership, the Rhode Island and southeast New England region of NCCJ received the national President's Excellence Award in 2000 for developing program initiatives that created real change in the community.
His work on public policy issues while at NCCJ led to the passage of the Rhode Island hate crime statute and the Traffic Stops Statistics Act that made Rhode Island the first state in the country to mandate the study of racial profiling by all police departments. He was appointed by the attorney general to the commission overseeing the study.
Before joining NCCJ, he was executive director of the Samaritans in Rhode Island.
Maione holds a bachelor of arts degree from Rhode Island College and a masters degree in business administration from the University of Rhode Island.
