	NEW VIDEO HELPS EMPLOYEE CAMPAIGN COORDINATORS

Individuals assigned responsibility for coordinating campaigns at participating companies and organizations play a key role in the success of the annual Tulsa Area United Way Campaign.

Known as Employee Campaign Coordinators - or ECCs for short - these folks are charged with providing accurate and timely reports of a company's campaign.

To help them, the United Way has produced a video that explains the campaign reporting process in several clear, simple steps.

"We have streamlined the campaign reporting process to make it as convenient and possible for our employee campaign coordinators," said Jessica Hargis, vice president for finance. "This video should answer questions ECCs may have as they complete their campaign packets."

United Way Campaign Coordinator and Kimberly-Clark employee Lisa Devins is no stranger to community service. This year, Devins is preparing for her sixth campaign. In 2012, Kimberly-Clark raised almost $375,000, which marked its most successful campaign to date.

Devins first became involved in community service nine years ago when she decided to organize an annual Kimberly-Clark toy drive among employees. Every winter, she helps provide new toys for children at a local Tulsa Community school. Kimberly-Clark and its employees have reached out to more than 4,500 elementary school kids through this program during the past several years.
