Recruit and Train Your Campaign Team

You don’t have to do it alone!

Having people from each department participate can be very effective. This team can help in all stages of the campaign, from planning to helping reach all areas of the company, promoting awareness and distributing and collecting materials.


How This Helps:

This reduces your workload, stimulates more ideas, helps create enthusiasm throughout the company about the campaign, and builds employee morale.


Strategies:

  • Enlist the support of your CEO, labor leaders and senior management team.
  • Form a Campaign Committee that provides leadership from all facets and levels of the organization. Recruit people that are energetic, organized and well-liked by their peers.
  • Meet with your United Way Loaned Executives to discuss your goals and objectives.
  • Invite your United Way Loaned Executive to train and educate your team and key workers.
  • Delegate responsibilities for the different components of your campaign, such as:  kick-off planning, tours, material distribution, themes, marketing, communication, Celebration of Excellence applications.
  • Encourage discussion of new ideas and perspectives.
  • Develop a plan for collecting pledge cards
