🌟 Please join us in welcoming Chad McEwen as our Board Chair! 🌟

Chad has been involved with UWCFA since 2017 following Hurricane Florence. He currently serves the Vice President of Business Operations for Funston Company. His professional career has primarily been focused in the local government sector, where he focused on giving back to the local community. When he isn't volunteering his time or focusing on work, he spends his free time outdoors, traveling and spending time with his family. 🤝

Chad believes in United Way's ability to fill the gaps for individuals or families in need. He is committed to disaster relief and addressing everyday issues that our neighbors face. His leadership and determination are perfect qualities for our next board chair. We are grateful for his dedication as we work together to build a healthier and more collaborative Cape Fear Area. 💙

Thank you, Chad for your support of United Way! We look forward to partnering with you! 🎉
