Connie Jones of Boothbay was elected chair of United Way of Mid Coast Maine’s Board of Directors. “We’ve set a great course for the future,” Jones said. Jones founded Boothbay Region Senior Services and currently serves as Community Liaison for Miles and St. Andrews Home Health and Hospice at LincolnHealth.
Bruce MacDonald of Boothbay, former state legislator, was newly-elected to United Way’s Board of Directors. He has a special interest in their early childhood work. Also elected was Claire Berkowitz, executive director of the Maine Children’s Alliance.
Jones will be joined as a board officer by Nancy Jennings of Bath and Joel Wegner of Five County Credit Union as first and second vice chairs. Matt Orlando, Bowdoin College vice president for finance and assistant treasurer, will continue his service as treasurer of the board.
United Way 2015 results highlighted at the meeting included a campaign which raised $1,850,538 for the community. Approximately 20,000 Mid Coast residents were helped by United Way-funded strategies last year through 37 partner agencies, including the ElderCare Network of Lincoln County, Central Lincoln County YMCA, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Maine, Mobius, Coastal Kids Preschool, Healthy Kids, Lincoln Academy School-Based Health Center, New Hope for Women, Spectrum Generations – Coastal Community Center, the Teen and Young Parent Program, Tri-County Literacy, and many more.
