Why do I do this work: In the military we were always coordinators for the United Way campaigns and Toys for Tots working to raise donations. At RTI I was a committee chair for the United Way campaigns creating ways for our employees to be involved. Having the opportunity to work on the other side of the donation is a great way to experience the full impact of serving our community through United Way.
