1. Kelly Cockshaw- Innovate for Impact Seasons Room
Designed to uplift community nonprofits and social enterprises, United Way of Chester County offers
a range of innovative solutions, including hands-on I training, data-driven decision-making guidance,
practical capacity-building resources, and robust leadership support. Through these offerings, we
empower nonprofits to innovate, adapt, and create lasting, positive impacts within our community.
Join Kelly Cockshaw as she discusses this initiative in further detail and how it can impact your
local UW.
2. Susan Loucks- Patterns of Power: Sound Familiar? Hemlock Room
Butting heads on the board of directors; difficulty retaining staff or board members that represent
nontraditional communities; long-term leader having a hard time letting go. These may seem like
different issues on the surface, but there’s one way to better understand all of them – through the
lens of power. Power isn’t inherently good or bad; it is, however, a dynamic part of every interaction.
Join us to explore patterns of power, cultivate good habits around power, and practice a tool that
can identify ways to channel power more productively in our organizations.
3. Upic Solutions- The Evolution of Fundraising: Expanding beyond Workplace
Campaigns to Individual Engagement Snowflake Room
Fundraising for United Ways has evolved beyond the Workplace. Where the workplace once provided
the opportunity to simply raise money through employee campaigns, it now provides the much-
needed access/opportunity to engage differently. Come and learn from other United Ways how they
are using the workplace as an opportunity for Individual Engagement, deepening relationships with
donors through targeted marketing, communications, volunteer opportunities and more.
4:00pm: Social Hour
6:00pm: Membership Dinner: State of the UWP Network Address Alpine Room

Dinner buffet includes salad, two entrees, three side dishes, two desserts, rolls, coffee, hot tea, and
