United Way 2023-2024 campaign results announced at 85th annual meeting

Body
Community problems rarely originate from a single cause. Solving problems requires that everyone work together – schools, nonprofit organizations, foundations, city and state government, and businesses. This is the focus of United Way’s work – bringing people together to create a vision for a healthy community and then to set goals, align programs, activities, strategies and partners, and then measure success by tracking and sharing data, stated J. Berry Harrison United Way president. Harrison spoke before 40 guests at the 85th United Way of North Central Oklahoma’s annual meeting.
