Meet the Leaders United Participants
Meet the 2020 Our Promise Leaders United Program Participants
This year, we are so excited to have five loaned state employees join the Our Promise team:
-
Jamie Carino, California Health & Human Services
-
Tom Hunt, California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS)
-
Tehani Rodriguez, California Department of Transportation (CalTrans)
-
Esther Vicente, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR)
Each year, Our Promise asks state agencies and departments to loan one or more of their valued employees to participate in the Leaders United Program, an 18-week working session to assist in the annual giving campaign. Leaders United participants (LUs) serve as an extension of the Our Promise team and work full time in the local United Way offices from late July to early November. Their work is absolutely vital to the success of the campaign and goes a long way to ensure deserving non-profits from throughout the state benefit from the money raised each and every year.
This year, we wanted to highlight our LUs by shining a spotlight on their philanthropic passions. Learn more about each individual!
