From the Chair of the Board of Directors

Greetings,

I am privileged to serve Spokane County United Way as 2016-2017 Chair of the Board of Directors.

United Way agencies feed the hungry, provide shelter for the homeless, empower victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, help children stay in school and allow them to enjoy some of the traditions of childhood - scouting, camp and after-school club activities.

The work done by United Way and the agencies it supports in our community has a lifetime impact on children and families who need it most - and that is what drives my passion to serve.

As a former nurse and as I serve in my current role as regional chief executive for Providence Health Care, I have gained first-hand knowledge and experience in providing care to some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.

United Way is not only working to meet immediate needs in our community, but Spokane County United Way is also helping people move up and out of poverty to strengthen our community's future.

I have lived in Spokane for 13 years. My family and I are rooted in this community, and I want Spokane to continue to thrive.

I invite you to join me and be a part of the change we all want to see by volunteering, supporting and partnering with Spokane County United Way.

Elaine Couture
Regional Chief Executive
Providence Health Care
