Workplace Campaign Team

Just who are all the players involved in helping run the United Way of Pierce County Community Campaign?

2009 Campaign Chair
First and foremost, there is our 2009 Campaign Co-Chairs John and Connie Ladenburg. The Ladenburgs have been leaders in Pierce County for decades, helping create stronger families and safer communities.  They are now stepping forward to help the community once again, serving as United Way of Pierce County’s 2009-2010 Campaign Chairs, filling the post unexpectedly vacated by Tom Spilman of Key Bank. After an enthusiastic start as United Way campaign chair, Spilman was relocated to Colorado to lead Key Bank in their statewide expansion, leaving United Way’s chair position vacant.  The Ladenburgs were a natural choice for the role, bringing great knowledge of Pierce County and a vast resume of community service to the position of Campaign Chairs. 

Loaned Executives
A Loaned Executive (LE) is someone who has been loaned by their company (or sponsored by a company) to United Way. LEs assist campaign coordinators in planning and implementing a successful employee campaign, educate current and future donors about human service needs of Pierce County and answer questions about UWPC.

Loaned Executives serve during the main Community Campaign timeframe - from September through December. They are an invaluable resource and UWPC is honored that each one assists in helping Pierce County to LIVE UNITED.

Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) and Combined Fund Drive (CFD)
In addition to the Community Campaign, United Way of Pierce County also facilitates the CFC and CFD campaigns for our community. The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) of the South Puget Sound is the sole workplace charitable campaign for more than 32,000 federal employees (both military and civilian) who work, serve and live in Pierce, Lewis and Thurston County. Federal employees can choose to give from over 1,000 charities (including over 200 local organizations) to not only help but create systematic change in our neighborhoods, communities and country as a whole.

The Combined Fund Drive (CFD) is the workplace charitable campaign for all Washington state government employees. It is operated out of Olympia but has volunteers throughout Washington. It allows state employees to give back to charities locally or throughout Washington state.
