United Way Names Co-Chairs

The co-chairs for the upcoming United Way of Chatham-Kent campaign are familiar with the process of crunching numbers. Kelly Bayda and Aimee June are branch managers at BMO; Bayda in Chatham and June in Blenheim.

Bayda says both have experience with the agency's campaign and events and are looking forward to the role.

"We are doing our agency visits right now and it is amazing the work these agencies do and we're really looking forward to really sharing and spreading that message," she says. "(Setting a target) has been done differently over the past several years around what the target should be set at, however, Aimee and I are actually looking to make some changes to that so there is going to be more information to come."

She says though, that setting the target will be done with the input of United Way staff and volunteers and aimed at funding the member agencies.
