KENNEBUNK — In running one of the most successful businesses in the world, Steve Jobs had a simple philosophy that the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
Bearing that in mind, United Way of York County has welcomed Reegan Hebert to the nonprofit organization as community impact investment manager.
In her new role, Hebert will oversee United Way’s organizational-level eligibility reviews and the program-level application and community investment process.
She will work closely with teams of skilled volunteers and manage the organization’s Supportive Services strategic efforts.
“Reegan is an excellent addition to our team,” said Barb Wentworth, president and CEO of United Way of York County. “Along with great enthusiasm, she brings experience with project management, volunteer engagement and coalition building.”
Hebert has more than eight years of public health and wellness education and management experience, serving most recently as program manager for the “Let’s Go” obesity prevention program at the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center.
She’s active in her community of Dayton, where she lives with her husband and son and serves on the town’s parks and recreation department committee. She’s also a fitness instructor at XL Sports World in Saco and enjoys running and gardening in her spare time.
Established in 1986, United Way of York County was born of the merger of two smaller United Ways. Since then, the organization has focused on the most important issues facing the York County community.
Its mission remains to improve lives by mobilizing people and resources within the county.
In 2017, United Way raised $1.3 million through 180 workplace campaigns and 3,600 donors.
Its community influenced strategic plan is focused on ensuring the best start for children from birth to age 8, improving nutritional outcomes for children and seniors through hunger prevention, helping youth develop leadership skills and community connections by engaging them in service and philanthropy, and supporting a safety net of services that meet basic needs.
To do this, United Way galvanizes individuals and organizations to act, while mobilizing resources, expertise and funding.
