The United Way Board

United Way is a volunteer-led organization. And in Westchester and Putnam, United Way operates through volunteers at both the countywide and local community levels. There is a volunteer Board of Directors that oversees the overall work of the two-county organization and there are local volunteer boards and committees that guide the work of the fifteen-member United Ways.
