William W. Merrill, III will serve as Chair of the board of directors
of United Way of Sarasota County
08/05/2010
United Way of Sarasota County has a new
Chair for its board of directors – William W. Merrill, III.
Although Mr. Merrill may
be new to this position, he is a familiar presence at United Way, having
been involved with the local organization since 1981. He most
recently served as Vice Chair of the board and chairs the major
gifts committee. He
and his wife Karen are members of United Way’s
Tocqueville Society.
“I am honored to be entrusted with this responsibility,”
said Merrill. “United Way is a cause that has always been close
to my heart because it represents the community working together
to help and provide for its own. With today’s economy the way it
is, more people than ever are depending on the services funded
by United Way, and that is an awesome
challenge. We have a solid group of smart, hard-working people
on the board, and I’m confident that together we will meet
whatever obstacles may lie ahead.”
United
Way of Sarasota County targets its efforts towards health and
human services. Founded in 1947, the organization generated more
than $3 million in 2009/10. Two of its critical initiatives
include an early childhood development initiative called Success
By 6™, and the Financial Stability Partnership™, an ongoing
effort to help hard-working people and their families achieve
greater financial independence.
