Diane Young Turner to Chair Board of Directors of UWGNH

United Way of Greater New Haven is proud to announce that Diane Young Turner has been named Chair of the Board of Directors.  Turner, Yale University’s Associate University Librarian for Human Resources & Organizational Development, is no stranger to United Way.  Turner served as the Campaign Chair in 2009 and has been on the United Way Board of Directors since 2009.  She also served as a member of United Way’s Success By 6 Advisory Council from 2007 to 2009 and was a co-recipient of the 2007 Champion for Advancing the Common Good Award for her outstanding work in leading the Yale Book Drive for three years, collecting thousands of children’s books for New Haven Reads and Read to Grow.  As part of United Way's Days of Caring, Diane helped expand the book drive to include Albertus Magnus College, Gateway Community College, Southern Connecticut State University, Quinnipiac University, and Yale, which collected over 4,000 books that were distributed throughout the Greater New Haven community.

United Way Celebrates Campaign Volunteers and Leadership

On June 22nd, the community celebrated the success of the 2009-10 campaign. We took the opportunity to thank all our campaign volunteers. The event also recognised the leadership of Diane Turner, 2009-10 Campaign Chair, and Yale University's commitment to our community with special guest, Yale President Richard Levin. The event was well attended with over 170, volunteers, buisness leaders and partners in the room.

“The University is pleased to support the United Way and its many good works. I want to especially thank Diane Turner and our more than 100 ‘United Way Champions’ on the University staff who lead the United Way campaign at Yale each year.”
