ENGAGE A SPEAKER FOR YOUR CAMPAIGN KICK-OFF!

HAVE A UNITED WAY EVENT WITH A PRESENTATION FROM A LOANED CAMPAIGN REPRESENTATIVE (LCR)!

Consider incorporating an LCR into your United Way activities. The two volunteers listed below are Purdue employees who are trained to speak about United Way. They are flexible to meet your specific needs. They can give presentations incorporating audience participation, present a video, attend staff meetings, answer questions, or help with other ideas that you might feel would be effective. Most presentations are 10-25 minutes in length.
