Here's why some of our current Council Members got involved:
"I’ve always been convinced that helping the less fortunate is the best method of strengthening the community as a whole and I’ve experienced firsthand the transformation volunteering makes. Mile High United Way’s ELC is an exciting way to collaborate with a group of like-minded professionals to make an exponentially larger difference versus what we could accomplish individually."
- - Brett Dolan, PCL Construction
"The Emerging Leaders Council provides me with opportunities for professional and social networking while developing leadership skills and a commitment to philanthropic endeavors."
- - Doug Lestikow, GHP Horwath
"Most young professionals have the energy and desire to contribute to their communities, and it's important to encourage them to give back.
- - Christina Hixson, Qwest Communications
