*** From Racquel White, who got it from Bill Imada, who got it from Tabrina Davis:
71.) Vice President of Marketing and Communications, United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, Chicago, IL
About The United Way of Metropolitan Chicago:
For close to 80 years, the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago (“UWMC”) has led communities in creating lasting change. Born in 1932 out of the Chicago business community’s concern for their fellow citizens during the Depression, UWMC has linked together communities to create lasting change. UWMC is part of a network of nearly 1,800 community-based United Ways in 45 countries and territories.
UWMC is managing a significant transformation of its traditional business model. In the past, the organization raised significant funds and distributed them to nonprofits. After a recent and major revaluation, the UWMC is now focusing on building collaborative partnerships and networks to bring about social change in a more hands-on manner. To do so, it is optimizing historical fundraising approaches in the workplace through better relationship management with donors and developing new resource streams through grants and multi-year corporate and individual giving commitments linked to community initiatives.
Through these new initiatives, the UWMC plans to offer donors community impact through measured results (outcomes) and provides recognition, visibility and volunteerism. The new community-impact plan, LIVE UNITED 2020, is a ten-year commitment to transform communities of greatest need — those areas that are home to almost 2 million Chicago area residents, more than half of whom live in poverty. It is focused on the three fundamental building blocks, a good education, financial stability and access to quality health care, that allow individuals and families to move beyond poverty to a better quality of life: The goals of LIVE UNITED 2020 are to:
• Advance economic stability for 100,000 households;
• Help 50,000 underperforming middle school kids enter high school ready to succeed;
• Connect over 200,000 people with available, preventative health care services; and
• Answer the immediate crisis needs of 1 million people every year by providing shelter, food and freedom from violence.
United Way Worldwide is the largest nonprofit in the world, raising $5 billion annually in support of families and individuals in need. Around the globe, the United Way connects families to the building blocks of economic stability through interventions in the areas of Income, Education and Health. With its partnering organizations, United Way does what no single organization can do alone — bring together leaders from government, corporations, health and human service and the community to develop innovative solutions to local issues.
Today, United Way is consistently rated one of the top brands in world (Interbrand values it at $40 billion), and its work goes far beyond its historical role of funding strong, nonprofit partners. Now it is mobilizing its assets, funding, legislative advocacy, technology, in-kind resources and corporate partnerships to deliver transformative, measurable results. With more than 4,000 volunteers and hundreds of thousands of donors globally, the United Way culture is driven by an entrepreneurial esprit de corps and a shared passion for the vision, values and work of the organization and its staff and partners.
The Opportunity:
The Vice President of Marketing & Communications will help UWMC develop and implement a marketing and communications plan to help drive the LIVE UNITED 2020 vision and achieve the measurable results the organization seeks.
Drawing on the work of the UWMC and the strength of the national United Way brand, the VP will be a senior marketing strategist and leader who will be responsible for defining and communicating the United Way brand both internally and to all segments of the community, building awareness of the brand and its mission.
As a key member of the senior team, this position will provide business and marketing thought leadership to the organization and will collaborate with the senior staff to provide visionary leadership to all stakeholders in the organization’s complex operating model. S/he will develop strategies and implement initiatives to increase the number of individuals and organizations that donate to, advocate for and volunteer with the United Way to improve lives in metropolitan Chicago and to deepen their engagement with the organization.
With an entrepreneurial spirit, s/he will oversee and manage the annual budget and work with partners to leverage the $1.5 million in-kind support provided to UWMC for marketing and communications annually as well as unprecedented partnership with a variety of leading media outlets including: ABC7, Comcast, Chicago Tribune and WTTW, among others.
Responsibilities:
The Vice President will interact with personnel across the organization to define and manage marketing, communications and engagement programs that drive the LIVE UNITED 2020 vision.
More specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Identify and leverage multiple channels, including social media to increase donor engagement and push out brand messaging and awareness of UWMC;
• Develop a market segmentation approach to identify different audiences’ needs and preferences in terms of messaging to ensure relevant engagement with our brand;
• Expand awareness and visibility of the United Way and UWMC brands and the LIVE UNITED 2020 vision. Work through external partnerships to reach new audiences that provide opportunities for donor cultivation;
• Work in partnership with Resource Development and Community Building to provide marketing and consultative sales strategies for fundraising initiatives that can help develop a diversified and growing income stream and help build a donor-centered culture;
• Lead and develop a talented team of marketing and communications staff. Create annual department management plan for marketing, communication and engagement activities with objectives, goals, strategies, tactics, measurements and outcomes;
• As part of the senior team, take a leadership role in working across the organization to mobilize all employees to achieve its goals, objectives, mission and vision;
• Implement an integrated strategy across departments to ensure effective management and stewardship of organizational resources such as funding, volunteerism, and advocacy;
