Loaned Executives

Local businesses understand the value of giving back to our community.

For a number of years local business have supported the Loaned Executive Program at United Way of Androscoggin County. Participating companies “loan” an employee from their organization to work with United Way staff and volunteers on the annual fundraising campaign, making a valuable and visible contribution to our community, Loaned Executives are the backbone of United Way’s campaign.   

In 2007 United Way of Androscoggin County was fortunate to have four Loaned Executives with a passion for bettering our community and a strong commitment to excellence: Joanie Davis-Dunn from LL Bean, Anthony Prock from Hannaford Auburn, Kim Boucher sponsored by Formed Fiber Technologies and Linda Wheeler from Tambrands/Proctor and Gamble.

Thank you to the individuals and companies who made the 2007 Loaned Executive Program a success.
