Former Loaned Executives Speak on Their Experience
Eric Herrmann
FirstEnergy Corporation

"Supporting the United Way of Summit County as a Loaned Executive was a satisfying experience, offering an excellent way to "give back" for the betterment of the community. The training program provides significant details of the philanthropic process and prepares the Loaned Execs to be in a position to add value and insight. Loaned Execs have the unique opportunity to visit with a variety of businesses and meet the leaders that are the backbone of support in Summit County.

I urge those who are candidates to serve as a Loaned Executive to jump on board, it’s an experience you will be proud of."

Kim Baer
City of Akron

"Serving as a Loaned Executive for United Way of Summit County was one of the most rewarding assignments I have ever experienced. The program helped strengthen my communication and project management skills, and the networking and contacts with local businesses and municipalities is something I will continue to draw upon in the future. More importantly, I gained a better understanding and awareness of community needs and a renewed sensitivity for helping others. I know of no other 12-week commitment that can give you this kind of first-hand insight. I am proud to have had the opportunity to serve as the City of Akron’s representative for the 2004 Loaned Executive program and would wholeheartedly recommend the experience."
