Well-run United Way campaigns make the greatest impact in responding to the complex issues in our community.
PCL is proud to have supported the Sponsored Campaign Representatives program since 1993, a decision we took because we know sponsored campaign representatives are key to making change in our community. We were also very excited to support the new mentorship program that helps foster a representative’s personal and professional growth. I recommend this program to those organizations smart enough to value the development of their future leaders. – Chris Pullen, Vice President and General Manager at PCL Construction
