OUR BOARD

United Way of Northwest Michigan strives to have a board of directors with a vast array of knowledge, experience and connection to ensure that UWNWMI is best mobilizing the caring power of our community for good.

Each year, UWNMWI on boards new members from across the region, ensuring that there is representation from the entire geographic area and that input is sought from the whole region.
