Review for United Fund of Cumberland County, Crossville, TN, USA
My position as a board member and chairman of a committee of the United Fund has allowed me to meet and be educated by the incredible agency employees and volunteers of the various United Fund agencies. Through United Fund allocation committees or the Dimpled Globe Awards Committee I have met and interviewed many individuals who are both inspiring and inspired. They are highly motivated and their selfless dedication to reach out to those in need is a wonderful "pass it on" experience. How could anyone not be impressed by the personal dedication of Denise Melton of the House of Hope or the mentors and leadership of Kids on the Rise, to name only a few examples. From retirees to young volunteers, the United Fund of Cumberland County can be very proud of these individuals, they are the basis for a great community.

I can't think of any but there are always new ideas, new needs, and new directions to "Make a difference" in our community. As a board member I would always be sensitive to such fresh ideas.
