What is an Account Executive?
Account Executives (AE's) are business employees, and/or community volunteers who work on the United Way campaign. AE's work with United Way staff to conduct fund raising campaigns in workplaces throughout Chelan and Douglas Counties. Depending on the number of accounts assigned, this requires a fifteen to twenty hour commitment between September 15th and November 30th.

The Account Executive Program is good business.
