Meet Game Changer Dottie Boring
This Mississippi native and Mississippi State University graduate has called Dalton home for 43 years. Dottie earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees at MSU before landing a job at Dalton Junior College. She taught accounting for 10 years before she met her late husband, Ken Boring.

 

Ken was a generous long-time giver and supporter of United Way and passed his passion on to his wife. It was through Ken's giving that Dottie became involved with United Way. She has hosted Women's Leadership Council events, advocates for the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, and now serves on United Way's Board. When asked how she Lives United, she replied, "United Way allows all to give to and volunteer in our community to provide needed resources and those in need of help."  

 

In her free time, Dottie loves spending time with her 2-year old granddaughter, shopping, and reading!

 

Welcome to the United Way Board, Dottie!
