Heather Chapman, Regional Manager for Reliant Community Credit Union, will be the United Way of Wayne County's 2009 Campaign chairperson.

Chapman will spearhead fundraising efforts beginning this fall for the community's annual United Way Campaign, which raises money for agencies that provide services to individuals and families in Wayne .

'We are very excited to have such a community minded individual as Heather taking on this very important role of Campaign Chair,' said Carol Pettis, Regional Director for United Way.

Chapman says being named Campaign Chair is a great way to give back and make a positive difference in the community.

'The United Way is a vital part of the County and it does so much to improve the quality of life for many. I am very happy to be a part of the success of this years United Way campaign and look forward to representing the organization,' she said.
