Dexter Freeman, Member Services Coordinator
I recently sat down with Patricia Bourland, United Way’s new Business Development officer, and learned how to get involved. Want to learn more? Read on!
Of the three focal areas – Give, Advocate, Volunteer – which appeals to you most?
They are all important in order for us to change lives in our four county area. Since I am the new business development officer, it’s my job to find new partners, so I would like to talk to any companies that would like to partner with us in any of these areas.
If you could only select three words to describe your partner organizations, what would they be? Generous, caring and effective.
Who is your mentor?
Mary Masters, my boss.
American Idol or America’s Got Talent? America’s Got Talent!
I get to laugh and/or cry at the amazing people who show up!
If a corporate initiative isn’t available, how easy is it for an individual to get involved with United Way? Very easy. We are always looking for volunteers-both as individuals and groups. You just go to our Website- www.unitedwaydallas.org and sign up! You can also join one of our leadership givers group as an individual also.
