Got your campaign materials? |
By now, you should have received a small back flashdrive, with the Live United logo on it. It contains all your campaign information and materials. However, if you don't have it yet or don't see what you need, you can now go online here, or just go to www.LiveUnitedChattanooga and click on Campaign Tools at the very top of the page.

STEP-UP! |
|
Bringing in more leadership givers!
We've developed a new program to help you convert your dedicated, mid-level donors into enthusiastic Leadership givers. STEP-UP gives these givers up to three years to "step-up" to leadership giving through intermediate levels - first $700, then $850 and by the third year they're giving $1,000. All we ask is that you tell them about the program and its benefits, then give them the STEP-UP form to fill out. Call Brent Taylor at 423-752-0310 to learn more about implementing this program at your office.

New Retiree Division |
|
GET INVOLVED!
United Way has developed a new campaign division for retirees. Often when employees retire that connection is lost for good, but these individuals are some of the most generous and engaged. You have an opportunity to renew your relationship with this group and increase your annual campaign through their charitable gifts. Click here to check out our new Retiree Campaign Guide and see what your campaign has been missing.

WAY TO GO! |
Pam Hurst is doing an awesome job running the Hamilton Co. Govt. annual campaign. They kicked off on July 1 with a Leadership recruitment meeting, followed by Dept. Coordinators' breakfast on July 15. Departments are holding rallies, silent auctions and selling food, but the biggest fundraiser to date is the "Hamilton Co. Cookbook" - it's flying off the shelves. If you would like a copy, call United Way at 752-0300. Want to share your own story for the next ECM newsletter? Just e-mail Kelley Nave.
