We are pleased to announce that the 2023 Anita award recipient is Shelley Marchand. Shelley exemplifies the spirit of what it really means to be the change you wish to see in the world. United Way is grateful for her leadership, including serving as a member of the Campaign Cabinet and the Women United Committee, opening her home to host special receptions, and sharing her time, talent and resources on many occasions in support of United Way initiatives and projects.
