United Way of Tompkins County (UWTC) welcomes four new members to its 2013-14 Board of Directors, chaired by Charles Walcott, Professor Emeritus, Cornell University. Kirk Sapa, UWTC Governance Committee Chair, presented the nomination for the new board members being elected to a three-year term. Susan Currie, Tompkins County Public Library, Carla McKain, McKain Law, Chet Osadchey, Cayuga Radio Group, and Stephen Romaine, Tompkins Financial Corporation were unanimously approved.

These community volunteers join twenty-six other members of the UWTC Board of Directors and all have the final responsibility for forming policies and overall management of UWTC.


John Turner, Cayuga Medical Center, 2012-13 Chair of the UWTC Board, had the opportunity to thank and recognize two outgoing UWTC Board Members: Cindy Noble, Community Representative, and Mary Opperman, Cornell University, for their years of dedicated service and work on numerous committees.  Under Turner’s leadership, UWTC exceeded its campaign fundraising goal for the ninth consecutive year, completed an organizational strategic plan, and exceeded goals across all operations.

UWTC President James Brown said, “UWTC, like numerous local organizations, relies on the active engagement of committed and talented volunteers. This year’s class of directors has skills and experiences that enhance our ability to serve the residents, businesses and agencies of Tompkins County.”
