Background

About Pam Smith

What a privilege it is to be the President/CEO of the United Way of Washtenaw County since 2012. As a nonprofit executive, I am dedicated to strengthening the community through philanthropy, collaboration, and community engagement. My vision and leadership guide the Equity, Diversity, and Justice work of the United Way of Washtenaw County. It has been an incredible experience to lead my team in raising more than 50 million dollars for our community, opening a Volunteer Center that engages more than people annually, and developing Financial Stability programming that has reached thousands. I have more than 25 years of experience in Management, Communications, and Nonprofit Administration. I enjoy supporting this community through work on local nonprofit boards, as a UM guest lecturer, and on local advisory teams. I love mentoring students and young professionals and have extensive experience in management, marketing, communications, training, and workforce development. I am keenly aware of the intricate balance of the diverse needs within the Southeastern Michigan community and am focused on connecting, catalyzing community solutions, and leaving our world a better place.
