2016 Calendar of Events
Highlights
Public Policy Conference Calls (Monthly – see schedule)
The purpose of these calls is to update OUW members about current legislative issues
that could have an impact on United Ways and the many agencies they fund. OUW seeks
input from members to create a consistent and shared point of view on public policy issues
relating to education, income and health so that we can speak with one voice. Our
members help to determine each year’s legislative priorities.
New CEO Orientation - April 20, 2016
This orientation is open to any new executive director or CEO. OUW provides an
overview of Ohio United Way including our purpose and services provided to members.
During the orientation, an experienced CEO joins to talk with new executives about United
Way Worldwide and reporting requirements and answers questions relating to annual
United Way campaigns or any other questions.
OUW provides new executives with the option to be mentored by experienced United Way
executives from adjacent communities. These mentoring relationships help to accelerate
the learning curve of new executives. New executives coming from United Ways outside
of Ohio benefit from learning about Ohio United Way and the unique services provided.
Community Impact (CI) Intensive Workshops - (See May & Oct., 2016 schedule)
These are small group sessions designed to provide individualized feedback and
discussion on your community impact initiatives. The workshop allows participants to
focus on short-range planning to determine your next 3 or 4 steps needed to move
community impact efforts forward. Executive directors and/or community impact
professionals are encouraged to bring at least one board member to participate in these
workshops.
Regional CEO Roundtables – (see schedule for March & April dates)
Ohio United Way is bringing roundtable discussions to a city near you. These regional
roundtables will be held in Ashland, Zanesville and Defiance, Ohio. Topics are being
chosen by local UW CEOs.
Legislative Luncheon – April 13, 2016
The Legislative Luncheon is a part of Ohio United Way’s Lobby Day activities, bringing our
members and sponsors together for an opportunity to meet with members of the General
Assembly over lunch and talk about local issues. This year, the luncheon will take a closer
look at Ohio’s 2-1-1 system, with an emphasis on the important role 2-1-1 plays in
connecting Ohio’s military veterans and their families with available services.
OUW Mid-Year Conference - July 11, 2016
This annual conference is a one-day workshop with discussion topics chosen by OUW
members. Facilitators are highly respected experts within the United Way system. One of
this year’s highlights is a representative from United Way Worldwide who will facilitate a
discussion on the Bold Plays and why they are important to you and your community.
Other conference topics will be provided as we get closer to the conference. The Mid-Year
Conference is one of the best opportunities to network with your peers from across Ohio.
Combined Charitable Campaign Training Webinar - November 10, 2016
Ohio United Way is the federation for its members. OUW provides a training on an
overview of the CCC application process and highlights changes to the process. OUW
staff checks all member applications for accuracy prior to submitting them to the CCC
office. This process helps to ensure that members and agencies have the opportunity to
participate in the annual campaign for state employees.
NPC Teleconferences (Quarterly update teleconferences TBD)
The NPC is a leadership body of 65 United Way CEOs in the U.S. Two Ohio CEOs are
members of the council. You are invited to participate in quarterly teleconference to learn
about the work of the council from these three CEOs.
