Connectingthe Dots toLIVE UNITED

Annual Report 201032

Dear United Way of Greater Kingsport Supporter,

2010 began with a theme of “connecting the dots”. Our focus was to deliver on our mis-

sion of improving lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community by implementing

our five year strategic plan and connecting our traditional operating approach to our new

community impact model. While I can say we maintained our focus toward that theme, the year

certainly was not without some significant changes along the way.

Shortly after our year began, we learned that our Executive Director, Doris Bush, who came to the position with the idea

of serving for a year, decided to retire after eight years of exceptional service. While this represented a major change, it

came after the foundation of our community impact model had been established and after Doris successfully led the

organization through the most difficult of economic environments to hit our country in decades.

One of the many strengths of our community and in turn our United Way is the spirit of volunteerism and personal desire

to continually make Greater Kingsport better for each and every individual, family and future generation. We have had

many great leaders of the organization who have made major impacts during their tenure and Doris is no exception.

While finding another leader with exceptional qualities seemed daunting, we knew history indicated we would be suc-

cessful in our efforts much like that of past boards who were faced with this challenge.

Through the great work of a diverse selection team led by our Human Resources Committee we named Danelle Glascock

as our new Executive Director. With the gracious help of Doris Bush, we were able to seamlessly transition to Danelle

leading our United Way and I am confident we will see continued success in accomplishing our mission under her leader-

ship.

2010 also saw a significant change to the United Way of Greater Kingsport as a result of the vision and cooperation of

various non- profits and the City of Kingsport. In August, we moved to our new location at the VO Dobbins Center and

joined several of our agency and community partners in a move that symbolized the revitalization of the Riverview com-

munity. This move served both a strategic mission as well as a cost reduction for the United Way.

As we focused on connecting the dots, we saw our Vision Councils in action for the first time and saw how the work of

one connected to the work of others. One major initiative was identified and funded while several others are being

researched to address previously unfunded issues our traditional operating model could not.

The year included setting a goal for our campaign that was higher than 2009 even when economic conditions were still

challenging. At the “Super Bowl” Victory Celebration, the Campaign Cabinet announced exceeding the $3.5 Million

goal. (See campaign chair’s letter for more detail on the final results of the campaign.) With the success of the cam-

paign we were able to approve a budget that extended additional funding to agencies beyond commit-

ments made to each agency during our bi-annual citizens review process.

In our efforts to connect with our community’s younger professionals, we saw our Young

Leaders Society grow and complete several service projects. We continued to build rela-

tionships and connect with our donors and supporters through an e-newsletter and

thanking and recognizing our loyal contributors.

While our year of focusing on implementing the changes made of the past several

years and connecting the dots to achieve our mission was a success, it was not with-

out a few changes along the way. I am pleased to say our board, staff and many volun-

teers were able to meet these challenges and our United Way is in the best of hands.

I am certain our legacy will continue for many years to come.

Thank you for your desire to make Greater Kingsport a community that cares and for

your giving, advocating and volunteering in support of the United Way of Greater

Kingsport!

Sincerely,

Greg Boehling

2010 President

Dear United Way Supporter,

2010 was not without its challenges for the United

Way of Greater Kingsport’s annual fund drive, but we

continued our tradition of success thanks to the gen-

erosity of our donors and the hard work of our many vol-

unteers. To tie the results into our campaign theme, I can tell

you that we not only scored a touchdown, we won the Super Bowl.

In 2008, UWGK raised the most ever raised in the community, almost reaching the $4

million mark including gift in-kind resources. The economy caught up with us in 2009

and we dipped a bit to a little more than $3.7 million. This year, we were optimistic

that we could raise the goal from $3.45 to $3.5 million. We certainly knew that the

need was even greater than years before with unemployment ratios reaching all-time

highs for the first time in several years across the nation. We not only met the goal

but we exceeded it. We raised nearly $3.9 million, including $240,000 in gift in-kind

advertising.

This year’s Regional Kick-off in Bristol was very inspirational with the Tuohy family

whose story was told in the movie The Blind Side as guest speakers at the event. It

served to remind us that we are making a difference every day in our own community

one person at a time. We are picking up our community and carrying it across the

goal line for a score and a victory.

The Tuohys also inspired us to pick up the football analogy and carry it throughout

the campaign. At our Community Kick-off/Media event, we latched on to a United

Way national initiative to encourage healthy lifestyles among our youth.

Representatives from Girls Inc. and Boys and Girls Club, programs from our Helping

Children and Youth Succeed focus area, spoke about how their programs promote

healthy living. Executive Director Doris Bush talked about United Way’s involvement

with community initiatives such as REACH and Pioneering Healthier Communities.

The team spirit fostered by the football theme extended to our Campaign Cabinet

meetings as we shared best practices and listened to program speakers to rally us

around the cause. We went from just a team to Super Bowl champs at our victory cel-

ebration, but more importantly, we felt a real sense of accomplishment knowing that

our work was more than just the dollars raised. We knew the resources the communi-

ty raised would go a long way in providing a better quality of life for everyone in the

Kingsport community. We knew that the community inspired hope and created

opportunities for the Michael Ohers in our midst.

On behalf of everyone whose life is better because you care enough to invest your

time, talent and treasure, I say thank you! I look forward to seeing another Super

Bowl championship next year.

Looking Forward: Danelle Glasscock Named New Executive Director

UWGK Awards Funding for Community Initiatives

Danelle Glasscock, a former Eastman Chemical Company employee, entrepreneur, and community volunteer,

was selected as the new executive director of the United Way of Greater Kingsport. The board of directors

voted to name Glasscock the new director at its August meeting following a five-month search process.

She began her tenure on Monday, Sept. 13, 2010.

Glasscock succeeds Doris Bush, who served as executive director for eight years. A Blue Ribbon

Panel, appointed by the board of directors’ executive committee, recommended Glasscock from

among six finalists. The panel consisted of Chairman Rick Witt, Jeanette Blazier, Miles Burdine, Doug

Bounds, Jane Harris and Paul Montgomery.

“The board believes Danelle will continue the high standard of leadership excellence that Doris has

shown,” said Greg Boehling, president of the board of directors. “Danelle obviously has a deep passion for

volunteering and serving her community. We think her passion and energy will inspire the whole Kingsport com-

munity to Live United and give, advocate and volunteer.”

A 1986 graduate of Auburn University with a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, Glasscock worked for Eastman

for 10 years as an industrial engineer and as a human resource representative. Their family spent three years

abroad in The Netherlands from 1996 - 98, came back to Kingsport and then transferred to South Carolina in

2001 before returning once again to Kingsport in 2009. While in South Carolina, Glasscock served as direc-

tor of children's ministries at Mount Horeb United Methodist Church in Lexington, and then started her

own business, Simply Organized, L.L.C., providing professional organizing services to mostly residen-

tial owners.

Glasscock’s experience as a volunteer with the United Way of Greater Kingsport includes serv-

ing on the Admissions and Allocations Committee from 1993-95 and facilitating quality man-

agement training for the United Way board in addition to other volunteer and professional

boards in the region. In 2010, she served as vice chair for the Helping Children and Youth

Succeed Vision Council, one of four new Vision Councils begun by the organization.

Danelle and her husband Chris have served in many volunteer capacities in the com-

munities where they have lived, especially with youth and children ministries. Their

three children are their pride and joy. Allison, the oldest, is a sophomore at Auburn

University. Will is a 10th grader at Dobyns-Bennett High School and Kellen is a 6th

grader at Robinson Middle School. In addition to church activities, their family

loves Auburn Football, sports, playing games and camping.

Looking Back: A Tribute to Doris BushDoris Bush retired in 2010 after eight successful years as Executive Director of United Way of Greater

Kingsport. Under her leadership, the organization has undergone many changes that have made a positive

lasting impact on the community it serves.

Mayor Dennis Phillips designated October 19, 2010 as Doris Bush Day in honor of her many accomplish-

ments. The first thing the Mayor pointed out as a visible indicator of the success of the organization

under her leadership is the fact that the annual campaign has met or exceeded the goal every year. In

addition, Doris worked with staff and volunteers to establish an endowment to ensure work of the organ-

ization will continue into the future.

From the beginning, Doris realized the resources were the vehicle to creating lasting positive change in the

community. Her ability to envision a better tomorrow for all the citizens of the Kingsport community spurred her

to restructure the organization to become a community impact United Way.

In the redesign, Doris felt it was important to gauge how well United Way is doing in meeting the need and getting at the

cause of the problem. To gauge the progress, UWGK has worked with member programs to provide results of their

work, proof that UW programs are making an impact in the community. The next step in the process was to set

up vision councils, community panels that look at the needs of the whole community and work to make sure

needs are met and organizations work together to tackle the causes of issues facing the community.

In order to retire, Doris felt she needed to see one more vision come to fruition, the opening of the V.

O. Dobbins Complex, a 103,000 square foot facility which brings together several community serv-

ice agencies. The dream of a non-profit center was born several years ago and Doris was a pro-

ponent every step of the way. (See article below for more information on the center).

While leading UWGK through significant accomplishments, Doris found time to volunteer

in the community. Her passion for servant leadership led her to serve as a Stephen

Minister at her church and work with various other community service organizations.

At the retirement celebration, Doris spoke fondly of all the people she has come to

know in her time serving as Executive Director. “I can’t help but think of a beautiful

painting at Girls Inc, created by using the thumbprints of the girls. I’m just like that

painting, I have all your thumbprints on me.”

Everyone has heard the words of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

How fitting that right off Martin Luther King Drive in the Riverview community of

Kingsport, a dream envisioned by many for several years finally became a reality in

the summer of 2010. The V. O. Dobbins, Sr. Complex, a facility with new and renovat-

ed space, was built by the City of Kingsport in cooperation with the Kingsport

Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the Hope VI grant. The 103,000 square

foot facility houses several non-profit organizations, a couple of gyms, an education

wing, and a large community room called the Douglass Room. The $8.2 million project

brings together community service agencies under one roof and offers major revitalization

to the Riverview community.

United Way of Greater Kingsport is one of the non-profits who decided to make the move.

Located on the second floor of the newly constructed non-profit wing, UWGK shares the floor with

one other agency. In addition to a significant savings on expenses related to occupancy, the organi-

zation was able to clean out a rented storage facility and move everything to the more than ample stor-

age space in the new facility. There is a good sized conference room in the United Way suite and the

Eastman Foundation Conference Room is located on the 2nd floor to accommodate committee and board meet-

ings.

The facility was named after V. O. Dobbins, Sr., principal of the old Douglass High School. His son Van Dobbins, Jr., who is

also a member of the United Way Board of Directors, expressed the sentiments of many when he spoke at the grand opening in

September: “I’m overwhelmed and elated with emotion when I think of how much has happened in such a short period of time. The new

complex will address so many issues that are needed in this community. I see this transformation and to say I’ve been a part of helping

this happen - it is so rewarding and a great blessing to be a part of this.”

After several years of working with community leaders and volunteers to assess

community needs and planning to address those needs, United Way of Greater

Kingsport (UWGK) awarded funding for community impact initiatives for the first time.

Evaluated by experienced community volunteers, each initiative was screened for its

ability to bring about positive, sustainable change to the underlying cause of a problem.

Over $50,000 was awarded to UWGK member agency programs, and $62,000 was awarded

to The Family Resource Center with the Kingsport City Schools over a two year period. Each

of the initiatives aligns with and supports at least one of the long- term, measurable outcomes

from one of the four focus areas: Helping Children and Youth Succeed, Supporting Aging with

Choices, Promoting Self-Sufficiency, and Ensuring Safety and Stability.

Currently, the Family Resource Center connects children and youth who need help to community based

services that support behavioral, social, physical and emotional health and development. The program

strives to impact young people’s lives positively by eliminating common barriers to academic achievement,

meeting basic needs, making sure all children have equal opportunities, and offering classes on parenting skills.

Evaluating program participants, the Family Resource Center initially plans to reduce expulsions, suspensions, and referrals

to alternative school by 3% and increase daily school attendance by 5%. School attendance is one indicator of academic performance.

By decreasing absenteeism, the program will be able to address some of the other issues related to poor academic performance. By tack-

ling the circumstances that cause the problem, children and their families can experience positive results that have a lifelong impact on

their quality of life.

Have you ever wondered what the greater

Kingsport community would be like if it were in an

ideal state? Members of the United Way of

Greater Kingsport’s Vision Councils have the

opportunity to do just that as they envision last-

ing solutions to the community’s needs.

Putting United Way of Greater Kingsport dollars to

work providing the most powerful impact in the

community has long been a top priority for United

Way volunteers and staff members. In 2010, four

Vision Councils were established under the UWGK

umbrella as an additional measure to ensure con-

tributions are being used where they will make

the most difference. Aligned around four major

focus areas, the Vision Councils are Supporting

Aging with Choices chaired by John and Beverley

Perdue, Helping Children and†Youth Succeed

chaired by Linda Calvert, Ensuring Safety and

Stability chaired by Jane Harris and Anne Elpers,

and Promoting Self-Sufficiency chaired by Justine

Hill and Rosalee Sites.

By bringing key stakeholders from throughout the

community together, United Way is connecting the

dots to create opportunities for a better life for

everyone in the greater Kingsport area.

Throughout 2010, the Vision Councils, composed

of community leaders, government officials, key

stakeholders, members of United Way agency

programs, and volunteers, continued to look at

the issues that need to be addressed. They’ve

looked at the underlying causes of problems and

begun developing plans to address the issues in

order to improve the lives of individuals as well as

a better quality of life in the community as a

whole. Using both data and anecdotal informa-

tion, the vision councils have been able to see

what needs are being met, where there are gaps

and where there is overlap. They’ve begun to look

at initiatives to address unmet needs and to cre-

ate positive, long-lasting change. See the article

on Community Initiative grants for more informa-

tion about initiatives being funded .
