Campaign Cabinet

The Campaign Cabinet's primary goal is to assemble a volunteer team (with the exception of United Way staff) to organize and plan a successful fund raising campaign. The Cabinet is vital in assisting United Way staff with follow-up on businesses and organizations ensuring that all potential contributors are contacted and that their donations are collected and returned to the United Way office for timely processing.

Member Responsibilities

The Cabinet begins meeting in June of each campaign year and continues to meet monthly through December or January. Cabinet members are responsible for attending campaign meetings, training sessions and public and United Way functions when possible. They are vital in assisting United Way staff with follow-up on businesses and organizations ensuring that all potential contributors are contacted and that their donations are collected and returned to the United Way office for timely processing. A team evaluation of the campaign is compiled upon completion of the campaign and suggestions for change are made for the following year.

Division Defined

A “division” is a grouping of specific accounts responsible for a portion of campaign revenue; “division chair” is the volunteer responsible for a respective division including recruitment of team members, organization and performance of their specific accounts.

2010 Campaign Chairs

Jim and Jan Sartori are honored to be the 2010 campaign chairs.

After graduating from Marquette University in 1977 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Jim joined the family business, S&R Cheese Corp., in a sales role. The company was founded in 1939 by Jim’s Grandfather Paul and eventually transitioned to father Joseph Sartori. Under Jim’s leadership, Sartori cheese has more than quadrupled in size and has won over 80 major awards from top US and International cheese competitions in just the past few years, including “U.S. Grand Champion” at the U.S. Cheese competition, “Best New Cheese”, & “Best U.S. Cheese” at the World Cheese Awards in Dublin Ireland, and back-to-back “Grand Champion” at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Married to Jim for 32 years, she and Jim have three grown children and one cute dog. Jan graduated from Marquette University in 1977 and practiced for over 20 years as a Dental Hygienist. She has been a Hospice volunteer in Sheboygan and Fond du Lac along with various volunteering in the Catholic school system and Meals on Wheels. She has also been a wish granter for the Make A Wish organization for the last 8 years. Her volunteer experiences have shown her that we all can make a difference. Just seeing someone smile is an amazing reward of volunteering. The United Way and its programs are working very hard to help those in our community who are in need.
