Dr. Roy will remain on the UWGLV Board and a member of the executive committee.
Also ending their tenure on the board are Anne Baum and Celeste Rau.

An active participant of UWGLV’s TeenWorks, Emerging Leaders, Women United and Tocqueville Society, Anne will also continue support the organization as Chair of UWGLV’s Endowment Committee.
“Anne Baum has been the consummate community leader and United Way champion,” remarked Paul Hurd, Chief Development Officer, UWGLV. “We were honored and privileged to have her on our Board for nine years serving in a variety of leadership capacities. Our community needs and deserves more people like Anne.”
Celeste Rau has been member of UWGLV’s Board since 2015. Ms. Rau was active on the Finance Committee for 6 years, 3 ½ of which she served as Committee Chair. A Business Development Specialist with DDMP Investment Advisors, LLC, Ms. Rau will continue as a member of UWGLV’s Finance Committee.

It goes without saying that Celeste made sure the financial side of the house was efficient and effective.”
