Bries Uni peal Fourth in series Branttord United Way attracts leadership This series on the United Appeal is being published to focus attention on the pm blerns and to give Banie residents an insight into what the United Appeal is In this article Bill Leslie the United Appeal campaign inBrantford By BILL LESLIE When talked with Harold Knight Executive Director of the Brantford and Brant Coun ty United Way Campaign it was quickly apparent he was man skilled and competent at his work The Brantford and Brant County Campaign raised $51093 in 1976 when its objec tive was $498000 This carn paign has reached or surpassed its goal for each of the past five years Brantfords success compared to Barries past troubles creates an interesteing comparative study from which we can hopefully learn something The thrust and success of the campaign has been the quality of leadership the United Way attracts Two other major con tributing factors were in my opinion the presence and guidance provided by full time executive director and finally highly developed organization Brantfords United Way cam paign leadership is broken down as Chairman past chair man three vicechairmen and many division heads tie in dustrial retail corporation profession medical etc Customarily successful division head will be made vicechaimian and the most senior viccvchairman made campaign chairman Because great part of the labor force in this area is industrial senior executives are often transfer red leaving openings some where in the United Way hierarchy In this event fresh face may be chosen to fill the vacancy or it cam be filled by moving someone from another position This system has two builtin safeguards Firstly there is lot of bench strength and sec ondly when division head makes it to the campaign posi tion he has had at least four years prior experience RESPECT The interesting situation in Brantford is the tremendous respect created for the United Way Campaign Only top ex ecutives and other persons con sidered to havehigh leadership abilities are asked to be one of the best and ablest men in the county The Brantford and Brant County Campaign is year round business At the centre of the business you find an ex ecutive director and two full time staff The executive direc tors responsibilities are however divided between the United Way Campaign the Community Appeals Review Board and the Community Welfare Council These three groups seem quite compatible The Community Appeals Review Board authorizes and schedules all fund raising drives not part of the United Way This then alleviates the problem of having different campaigns during the same time of year and akes all such drives espectable The Com munity Welfare Council is voluntary body concerned with the needs of such matters as Day Car Centres Workshops for Senior Citizens and ac tivities for the handicapped etc Brantfords executive direc tor described himself as resource person He makes ccr lain others get their jobs done and done on time He givc pro fessional direction He receives considerable literature and materials which can be of assistance to the different chairmen He is in touch with United Way Canada and United Way America The office of the executive director is able to provide secretarial assistance to hardworking organization It keeps proper records gives receipts and administers funds Automatically when supplies such as canvass kits and pledge cards are needed they are ordered so there is no slow down awaiting some volunteer to find out what to do and how IIIiIIIY ILNEI Brantfords organization is highly tuned Ah positions are filled by Jan The Budget Committee has heard the agen cies submissions by the end of March and the Board of Direcr tors has established its cam paign target for the following year by the end of June The summer months are taken in making sure all suppliers are in and last minute adjustments are made in preparation for the oncoming campaign The cam paign eats up September and October and the months of November and December is considered the cleanup period Similar to Woodstock Brant ford places considerable em phasis on its approach to labor The Labor Relations Commit tee is chaired by prominent labor representative He then recruits three or four other per sons from the larger companies who are representative of dif ferent unions in the area The labor groups with the co operation of management ar range for time periods within work day when talks by member of the Labor Relations Committee can be made re need for campaign funds payroll deductions etc The campaign attracts much publicity All appointments are covered by the newspaper with photographs of all senior people involved Once week mm the middle of April Luitil the end of the campaign there is 15 minute radio interview pertain ing to one aspect of the United Way Campaign or the work of participating agency The local newspaper donates full page to campaign news on the eve of the kickoff There are dinners beauty pageant and other gimmicks used to draw atten tion to the campaign turd need for funds for the different agen cies Furthermore con siderable effort is placed in training canvassers As result when llrantfords campaign kicks off in the fall every position of leadership is filled with top people an vasscrs are trained and inform ed of all aspects of the lmlcd Way There has btcn much pub licity everyone is aware of the trcmcndous needs for thc funds for thc agcncics work in the county There are approximately 100000 in thc lirantford and Brant ounty lhcir
