UWGLV Staff Promotions Announced

United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley is delighted to announce well-deserved staff promotions which will support our 2020 Campaign and align community need with 2020 budget constraints. Please join us in congratulating the following three staff members.

Jess Escobar-Eck has been promoted to Senior Relationship Manager. In this role Jess will take on additional accountabilities leading the strategy and become the primary point of contact for our Emerging Leaders. Jess has been a valued team member in workplace engagement since 2017.
 
Becca McAtee has been promoted to Senior Director, Leadership Giving.  This promotion recognizes the increased leadership role in our organization that Becca has and will continue to fill. Becca joined our United Way in 2015 and was promoted to Director with supervisory responsibilities in 2017. Our leadership giving programs will need to navigate major gifts appeals in both the virtual and physical spaces coupled with a reduction in staff. We are confident in Becca’s ability to lead the team through these challenges to a successful campaign.
 
Jen Nicolosi has been promoted to Assistant Director, AmeriCorps Programs and will move to the Finance and Administration department where she will report directly to Mary Terp. Jen will focus full-time on managing our human capital from AmeriCorps programs. Between the VISTA and CarbonCorps programs, staffing from AmeriCorps has reached approximately 30 full time staff members! This move will allow us to better incorporate our service learning staff into how we think about achieving organizational priorities through our people. Combined with our interns and office volunteers, non-employee staff account for 50% of our human capital. Folding how we retain, engage and manage this pool of talent with how we do the same for employees will be critical to our ongoing success. Jen has been supporting our AmeriCorps programs at UWGLV since 2014 and is excited to be able to dedicate all of her capacity in this area.
