Program Length: August 11 - December 4, 2008

Each year, businesses dedicated to making a difference in our community select valued employees to serve as full-time loaned executives (LEs) who serve as the foundation of United Way’s annual workplace campaign.

Each loaned executive is in a unique position to impact our community. Good candidates include new hires, retirees, managers-in-training and employees who can benefit from rigorous training, development and networking within the business community. The program provides both intensive classroom and hands-on training in leadership, presentation, sales, project management, organizational and communications skills. On December 4, your employee(s) returns to you with enhanced leadership skills, after having made a real difference in our community.

When you loan an employee to United Way of Greater Milwaukee you are investing in the future of your organization, your employee and your community. If you cannot loan an employee, please consider making a financial contribution of $9,000 to cover the cost of sponsoring an LE that United Way will hire.
