After several years serving on the board of the South Dakota Symphony and most recently as board president, L&S President and CEO Scott Lawrence has been named as the chair for the Sioux Empire United Way 2010 campaign drive.
Campaign chair is an honor reserved for some of the most well-respected leaders in our community who have expressed a strong devotion to helping those in need.
“Getting involved and having the opportunity to give back to our communities is a priority for myself and the agency,” Lawrence said.
“I am extremely honored to step up as this year’s campaign chair. Many people have said to me, ‘what a terrible time to lead’ because of the economy. I say just the opposite. I believe this will be the Sioux Empire United Way’s finest hour.”
An unsteady economy has not stopped the campaign from reaching and exceeding its goals in the past; last year, the Sioux Empire United Way saw a 3.2% increase in giving, raising $9.3 million for those in need.
As an agency, Lawrence & Schiller has a legacy of extra-mile support for the United Way with 100% participation in employee giving and more than 30 Heart Club members.
Lawrence & Schiller is also helping to develop marketing materials for the upcoming campaign, titled “Live United.” You can learn more or get involved with the Sioux Empire United Way at www.seuw.org
