United Way story is difficult to understand and share in a short concise way, yet critical for attracting 
and expanding the donor base. Utilizing technology and social media to connect and communicate 
will be an ongoing opportunity as will segmenting our audiences and our message along with the 
approaches used. 
 

Show measurable results for the collaborations and investments of United Way. The 
organization understands its unique value in aligning community resources to create positive change 
and that no one organization can impact these issues alone. Collaborative partnerships are required 
which include public, private and non-profit organizations who are motivated to work together on 
improving community around common goals. People are coming together, and United Way is seeing 
some success with the coalitions. The opportunity is to continue to assist in skillfully supporting and 
driving focused work plans that help set measurable results and make progress on the issue. 
 

Excel at governance and operations and retain and attract top staff and volunteer 
talent. United Way has an active and engaged Board of Directors and committees. Bringing the right 
people together with the support they need is critical to success. One of the top attributes of this 
United Way is the exceptional reputation and dedication of volunteers and staff for delivering quality 
services and support. The opportunity for United Way is to retain and develop staff and increase 
volunteerism, resulting in a greater impact on our key areas of focus. 
 

Continue the Visionary Leadership. This position’s responsibility is to be constantly and 
proactively envisioning where we are going, then prepare and present those ideas to the Board. The 
Executive Director needs to lead us to achieve our current bold goal but also have reasoned sense for 
what our next bold goal might be based on the LIFE and ALICE reports, relationships with our 
partners, staff, and donors.

Job Location 
 
Marathon County offers an abundance of diversity in culture, recreation, natural beauty, seasons, 
economic activity, and residential options. With a full complement of the four seasons, you will find 
recreational opportunities for skiing (downhill and cross country), fishing, boating, snowmobiling, 
biking, hiking, and kayaking to name a few. Many would consider us an outdoor focused culture in 
Central Wisconsin. We host world class kayaking competitions, Badger State Olympic style winter 
games to name a few. Granite Peak in the center of our community is a burst with color in the fall and 
bustling with out-of-state visitors and locals during the downhill ski season. Our arts community is 
second to none. The Grand Theater offers a venue of entertainment that one would expect to find only 
in larger metropolitan areas. If an artistic venue is more to your liking, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art 
Museum is a must see, especially the internationally renowned Birds in Art annual exhibit. Throughout 
the county our communities offer a variety of farmers’ markets, ethnic festivals, and fairs. 
 
Marathon County offers a variety of residential options and employment as it does in ethnicity, 
recreation, natural beauty, and culture. Our metropolitan area consists of several communities 
centrally located at the intersections of I-39/US 51 and Hwy 29. The Wausau metro area serves as 
the health care, retail and professional services hub for Central Wisconsin that also extends to the 
Michigan border in northern Wisconsin. Our regional airport is easily accessible to the business or 
vacation traveler. 
 
Our economy is comprised of a strong health care industry, professional services, manufacturing, 
agri-business, and a strong commitment to entrepreneurship. Many of these organizations have a 
national and global footprint. Whether you are looking for a metropolitan setting or the benefits of rural 
small town living it can be found in Marathon County. 
 
A great way to learn more about the quality of life and the key leadership role that United Way plays in 
the community is best seen in the LIFE Report. The broad community comes together to compile 
information and data to evaluate strengths and weaknesses and identify priorities for action. This 
process has been led by United Way every other year for the past 25 years. The report is available at 

this link: Marathon County Pulse.
