Employee Spotlight

ben.jpgMeet Ben Lee, our Director of Community Impact- Financial Stability & Health who has been with United Way since 2019.  He believes we all deserve an honest and equitable shot at living our best life. Outside of work he is a partner to Tiffany & dad to three boys, ages 5, 6, and 13. They like to read & write poetry, write & play songs and spend time with their closest friends.  Ben is always chasing down the perfect cup of coffee. 
 
Ben says, “I’m most passionate about community advocacy, art, literature, music, poetry, relationships, and creating equitable life experiences for all of our neighbors. These are the things I measure a successful life by. I think all of these play an equal role in my happiness, depending on the season of life that I’m in. I think my most proud accomplishment would be the life we’ve created and work we’ve done in the community. I value the relationships we’ve built, the friendships we’ve made, and the way we’ve raised our children.”  Prior to working with United Way, Ben held a 12- year career in Human Resources & Corporate Training, most recently with Footlocker, Inc. He grew up in Merrill and naturally gravitated towards Wausau because of the vibrant art & music scene that exists here.
