Letter from
Matt Hunter, President
Dear Friends,
On behalf of Head of the Lakes United Way’s Board
of Directors, staff, volunteers and hundreds of
community partners, it’s my pleasure to welcome
you to the 2015-16 Head of the Lakes United Way
LIVE UNITED Luncheon. We’re honored that you’re
here to celebrate with us!
Last year at this event, I pointed ahead to a big
change coming to our community. A merger between
the United Ways of Greater Duluth and SuperiorDouglas County was in the works. I’m happy to
report that it’s not in the works anymore. We did it!
The newly named Head of the Lakes United Way launched on July 1, 2015, with
responsibility for separate campaigns in Ashland-Bayfield, Greater Duluth, the North
Shore, and Superior-Douglas County. Our focus now becomes revitalizing, strengthening
and expanding fundraising efforts and impact across our region. With partners like you,
I know we’ll be successful.
As our celebration gets underway, there’s one important thing left to say - thank you.
United Way would not exist without you. To all organizers, sponsors and attendees of this
luncheon, their families, friends and colleagues - I am grateful for all you do!
Enjoy the event, everyone.
Yours,
Matt Hunter
President, Head of the Lakes United Way

Kristi Stokes
Greater Downtown Council
“Revitalized & Stronger”
United Way 2-1-1
Kristi Stokes has been the President and Chief
Operating Officer of the Greater Downtown Council
since 2000. The organization is dedicated to promoting
and supporting development of a clean, safe and
vibrant central business district. She led the GDC
through its creation and implementation of a Special
Service District, as well as its renewals. In addition,
the GDC has seen growth in membership, sponsorship
and special events during her tenure.
Stokes has more than 20 years of management
experience in the private and not-for-profit sectors.
Kristi Stokes
Prior to assuming her current position, she served as a
News Director/Anchor at six radio stations, including the local CBS affiliate.
She is also active in the community, currently serving on the Board of Directors for the YMCA
and Bentleyville Tour of Lights. In addition, she serves on the board for the International
Downtown Association. Stokes was featured as one of Duluth’s 10 “Movers & Shakers” in
the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal and was named to the Duluth News Tribune’s
inaugural “Top 20 under 40” list of young community leaders.
Stokes also knows first-hand what it is like to be a small business owner, as she and her
husband, Dave, own a video production company.

United Way Community Giving Campaign
Each year, more than 500 local workplaces and thousands of individual donors participate in
United Way’s Community Giving Campaign. This campaign supports local health and human
service programs that create real, lasting change for individuals and families in our region.
Participating in this program helps businesses raise their public profile while assuring our
partner agencies can focus on their clients.
For more information contact Michelle Hargrave at 218-726-4771.
United Way Community Services
The AFL-CIO Community Services Program works with union members in a variety of ways.
It assists union members in need. As a liaison, UWCS informs labor groups and change
makers about the obstacles those in poverty face when trying to find employment. It also
mobilizes the caring power of working union members to get them actively involved and
participating in the United Way campaign and volunteerism.
For more information contact Rachel Loeffler-Kemp at 218-726-4775.
United Way Volunteer Center
United Way’s Volunteer Center connects workplaces and individuals with volunteer
opportunities at over 60 local non-profit agencies. Volunteering is a hands-on way to see the
impact local agencies are creating in our community and to help advance this work. Through
the Volunteer Center’s initiatives like Reader, Tutor, Mentor, or Day of Caring, agencies are
provided with valuable skills and resources from community members.
For more information contact Liz Pawlik at 218-724-4889.

Volunteer of the Year
Award Nominees
We invited our partner agencies to submit nominations for the Volunteer of the Year Award
recognizing individuals or groups making a difference in their community. The following
volunteers were nominated for this special award. The Volunteer of the Year Award recipient
will be announced during the 2015-16 Live United Luncheon. Congratulations to all the
nominees and thank you for your volunteer service!
LIVE UNITED Award
The LIVE UNITED Award is presented to an individual or group in our community that not
only understands what it means to LIVE UNITED, but demonstrates it. LIVE UNITED is not
only a mission and a goal, it is a call to action – to give, advocate, and volunteer in order
to improve the lives of everyone in the community. The recipient of this award leads by
example, and today we recognize and honor Dan Leslie
Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED. This
statement truly describes Dan Leslie’s dedication
and commitment to United Way.
CHUM
Flo Bonkowske
Dan Leslie’s involvement with United Way started
simply enough more than 20 years ago. His union,
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
Local 31, asked if he’d be interested in helping with
United Way’s annual fall fundraising campaign as a
“loaned executive” to help educate others about the
many ways United Way helps the community.
Duluth Area Family YMCA
Alpha Delta Fraternity
Sure, Dan said, and in the process he saw the
breadth and depth of United Way assistance to
those in need. “It was eye-opening to the point that
I never left. It’s hard to walk away from the need
when you know that it’s there,” Dan said. “You just
need to help people. You just need to be part of the
solution.”

Dan Leslie
Dan, who works for Minnesota Power, served for 15 years on the board of the United Way of Greater
Duluth, now Head of the Lakes United Way. He left the board this past fall after serving on various
committees over the years, including the executive committee and the governance committee.
Dan has been a powerful advocate for United Way at his workplace. Over the years he helped lead
Minnesota Power’s participation in events such as Day of Caring and the Chili Cook-off. He has
been a willing participant in many other endeavors to raise money or lend a hand, including Power
Volunteering, Minnesota Power’s kickoff to its United Way fall fundraising campaign.

Dan’s wealth of experience in planning and executing a variety of events isn’t lost on others. He’s often
sought out as a resource to help identify potential pitfalls or offer advice. When it comes to United Way,
or other efforts to benefit his church or community, Dan said he “selfishly” signs on. “I enjoy doing it. It
makes you feel good.”
