Develop a plan to know where you're going

You can't get from point A to point B without a set of directions to get you there!  It's the same with a United Way employee campaign.  Give yourself enough time to think about the best ways to incorporate employee campaign strategies at your company and write them down.  You'll save time in the long-run, and a lot of stress, too!  Consider these tips for planning your United Way employee campaign:

• Decide on a theme, activities, incentives and a thank-you event.
• Develop a detailed timeline and calendar.
• Set a challenging goal based on total dollars raised and/or percent of participation.
• Determine when the employee meeting(s) will take place.
• Leadership giving solicitation and a retiree campaign are two ways to involve forgotten groups. Contact a retiree and a past Leadership Club member to serve on the committee and lead these solicitations.
