Finance Committee
Five community members meet on the third Wednesday of each quarter to review and monitor the distribution of monies received by United Way. They are charged with reviewing the financial stability of the organization and reporting to the Board of Directors on the expenditures.
 
Recognition Committee
The Recognition Committee is our party planning committee. They are in charge of planning and executing two events; The Grand Finale and The United Way Family Picnic. Both are our best attended events.
 
Squad
No change is not acceptable has been the basis of the Squad's work in assisting the Board of Directors over the last year. The Squad is working to assist the Board of Directors to find ways to assure that our United Way remains proactive and relevant in our community.

This committee is responsible for development and implementation of new volunteers for the Greater Douglas United Way through the nomination process. Every year four new Board Members are added as four are retired.
