Develop Enhanced Resource Development Efforts
Campaign. Jeff King, Campaign Chair, stated there have been big swings in the campaign this
year with some ups and downs, however we have come up a little short on the campaign goal.
Mr. King stated rather than focusing on the negatives we will focus on the positives. Mr. King
reported the school campaigns and corporate gifts both had an increase in their overall goals.
Refine Allocation Process
Proposed Allocation Budget. Melinda Tidwell presented a proposal for the 2018 allocations.
Mrs. Tidwell explained we must deduct United Way Worldwide pledge dues, restricted funds
and designations to other United Way’s off the total. Mrs. Tidwell stated due to an increase in
our budget and the amount designated to other United Way’s we had an increase in the amount
available to allocate to agencies. The proposed pledge loss comes into question as to whether the
Board is comfortable leaving the pledge loss at 7% or increasing it. Mrs. Tidwell stated our
collections have been down with our largest contributor trending at a 3% pledge loss. After
some discussion Rodger Brown made a motion to leave the pledge loss at 7% with Jerrilyn
Billingsley seconding. The motion carried.
