February 18, 2011 UR, Wegmans, RIT Networking Event
United Way mixes with young leaders
Josh Culhane has been giving to the United Way since he started working for Wegmans Food Markets Inc. nearly 13 years ago. But when he actually learned about the work the organization performs in the Rochester area, he was motivated to move beyond donating and take action.
He now sits on the cabinet for the 2011 United Way campaign and, along with Maggie Cassie of the Young Leaders of the UR and Andrew Quagliata of RIT Young Professionals, helped organize a special reception and networking event on Tuesday at the Theatre on the Ridge with leaders of the United Way.
During the event, United Way President Peter Carpino and 2011 campaign chairwoman Essie Calhoun shared their thoughts on leadership with the approximately 30 young professionals in attendance and held a question-and-answer session to solicit feedback. Carpino said most of the current donors who give to the United Way are older than the young adults who came out. To him, engaging young people to carry the torch of community leadership is of high importance. "The purpose of starting this dialogue is not a pitch for money, but to ask, 'How do we get you and your counterparts involved?'" Carpino said.
Before introducing a short promotional video about the 2011 campaign, Calhoun said Rochester is a great place for volunteerism. She has been involved with the United Way for more than 20 years and co-founded its African American Leadership Development Program. She said it may be a trite statement, but young adults truly are the future leaders of this city. "You've already decided and declared, 'Yes, I am a leader, and yes, I care about this community' because if not you wouldn't be here," said Calhoun, who recently retired as chief diversity and community affairs officer at Eastman Kodak Co. The young professionals were interested in learning how United Way's efforts are different from other initiatives in the community that are trying to engage young adults. Some said they just didn't want to talk about getting involved but felt motivated to."I'd like to actually do something," said Brad Austin, a member of the Web development team at Wegmans, whose young professionals also attended the reception.
United Way is planning to partner with the three groups in attendance for a series of educational events, which include a March 18 date at the University of Rochester; April 2 at local Wegmans stores and during United Way's Annual Day of Caring on May 14.
