2021 Campaign team
Our Campaign Team is an incredible group of volunteers working in the four counties we serve across 10+ sectors of the local economy. These individuals work to strengthen our existing relationships and cultivate new ones for our organization. They are led by our Campaign Chair.*Denotes Previous Campaign Chair
Campaign Chair – Lester Lattany*
Rev. Lester D. Lattany has served Northeast, TN for nearly 30 years, currently pastoring Friendship Baptist Church in Johnson City. Lattany first held the role of Campaign Chair in 2010. He was then chosen to lead our United Way for 14 years until his retirement in 2016. He now returns in a volunteer role with the goal of building a bridge to the future for the members of our community.
