With that confidence, I am excited to pursue a new journey with a fantastic organization that shares the same commitment to improving lives and work in a field that I also find inspiring. I am immeasurably grateful for the team I have worked with and for the support of many superheroes in our community who have made my service with United Way such a rewarding experience. I look forward to returning that support in this new role and forever championing its mission,” Holleman said.
