United Way of Deschutes Co. welcomes new staff members

The United Way of Deschutes County is pleased to welcome to the organization’s team Kati Hannigan as Community Impact Associate and Aimee White as Development Director.

Kati joins UWDC after 26 years managing program launches for Chevron, including the Safeway and Chevron loyalty program partnership. She will serve as administrative support for the organization and will coordinate community and fundraising events.

Bringing a well-versed background in nonprofit development, Aimee will provide strategic leadership for the local annual United Way campaign as well as cultivate collaborative partnerships with individuals and corporations that achieve enduring positive results for the community.

Aimee comes to UWDC after leading individual giving efforts at Lakeshore Public Media in Merrillville, IN where she launched major giving and ongoing giving programs and most recently serving as membership coordinator at the High Desert Museum in Bend, OR. Prior to experience in fundraising, she worked as a journalist and in marketing communications.

“We are thrilled to have Kati and Aimee join our team. They each bring qualities and experience that match our strategic needs and direction,” said UWDC Executive Director Ken Wilhelm. “They are also great people who share in the vision and mission of The United Way of Deschutes County.”
