United Way Welcomes New Staff

Ben & LoriHi my name is Ben Lee. I recently joined United Way as the Community Impact Director-Financial Stability and Health. I’ve spent the last decade in the corporate human resources sector and ultimately made the move to United Way because I wanted to pursue more meaningful work that had a tangible impact on our community. So far, every day has been different and I’m really excited about that prospect. I get to come to work every day and challenge myself with building a better community. I don’t know how work can get more rewarding than that.

My name is Lori Hattenhauer and I am the first Retire United Coordinator. I had been volunteering at United Way for over two years and was excited  when the Retire United position was announced. I wanted to work here because I love how United Way brings people and organizations together to work towards solutions to community-wide problems. I am most excited about building the Retire United affinity group into the thriving and vibrant entity I know it will become.
