Butler County United Way Announces Graydon Head Partner As 2008 Campaign Chair
June 11, 2008
Butler County, OH – A. Christian Worrell III, partner in charge of the Butler/Warren office of the law firm Graydon Head & Ritchey LLP, will be heading up the 2008 campaign, scheduled to kickoff September 4 at the Savannah Center, West Chester.
The role of Campaign Chairman at Butler County United Way (BCUW) is to provide leadership and direction to the volunteer campaign cabinet. Specifically, Worrell will be coming up with the best strategies and techniques to guide United Way's annual campaign process. This is successfully accomplished through utilizing the talents and skills of local community leaders to advance the common good.
Worrell has a clear direction for this year's campaign: "It is apparent that economic conditions have had disparate effects in Butler County. Parts of the county, and many of our residents, continue to experience extraordinary prosperity, while others have been less fortunate. The demand for the services of Butler County United Way partner agencies is at an all-time high." He adds, "We must meet those needs with a groundbreaking campaign that reflects Butler County's sense of community and spirit of giving."
Consistent with Graydon Head's commitment to community service, since joining the firm in 1985, Worrell has participated in a number of community volunteer activities. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the West Chester Chamber Alliance, The Hillside Trust, as well as Partners in Prime, located in Hamilton. He has previously served on BCUW's campaign cabinet.
Chris lives in Liberty Township with his wife, Stephanie, who is active in BCUW's Women's' Initiative and their son, Ben, a student at Lakota West. Their daughter, Devon, lives in Seattle.
"Chris is an exceptional community leader, who brings a wealth of expertise and talent to our organization," said BCUW Chief Executive Officer Maureen Noe. "We are so fortunate to have Chris lead our campaign; we are confident that he will help raise awareness of our community's most pressing needs, while garnering strong support for BCUW's efforts to meet those needs."
