2007 Loaned Executive Program
“Lend a Future Leader”
The value proposition

Welcome to United Way of the Inland Valleys’ Loaned Executive Program - An Investment and Training Opportunity with an Exceptional Return.
Investing and participating in the Loaned Executive Program is an excellent investment for your company, for the "loaned" employee, for UWIV, and, most importantly, for our communities.

Developing Future Leaders
Each year, businesses take advantage of a special community-wide leadership project; the United Way Loaned Executive Program. These selected individuals are "loaned" to UWIV full or half-time from mid-August to mid-November and become part of our Fundraising Team.  They develop their potential for leadership while doing something wonderful for the community in the name of their company and United Way.  Loaned Executive Training is nationally recognized as a community leadership and asset building tool.  The LE program provides our community with the well-informed and trained community leaders of tomorrow!

Loaned Executives come from all areas of the workforce, including upper and middle management, professional and clerical. They serve the community, helping United Way plan and carry out the annual Campaign, but remain employed by the contributing organization.

Everybody Wins
The Loaned Executive Program provides benefits for everyone involved:

Benefits to the Loaned Executive
Loaned Executives bring their expertise, knowledge, and time to assist United Way while gaining valuable experience. The development program enhances and develops valuable sales and account management skills that employees take back to their company:

Financial Sponsorship
Companies can also choose to provide financial sponsorship. Your financial investment of $8,000 enables UWIV to hire a qualified individual. If you cannot lend us the expertise from your staff, this is an option worth considering.  There are several levels of sponsors*:

• $1,250 is a Quarter Sponsor
• $2,500 is Half-Time Sponsor
• $3,750 is Three-Quarter Sponsor
• $5,000 is Full-Time Sponsor
• $10,000 is a Major Sponsor

(*UWIV cannot accept a sponsorship out of a corporate gift. That raises our administrative costs and reduces what we can allocate to community programs.)
