For Jennifer Bosaw, Vice President of Operations at Heartland Credit Union, giving back isn't just part of her job, it's part of who she is. As one of the Employee Campaign Coordinators (ECC) at Heartland Credit Union, Jennifer has lead United Way campaigns for two years and has supported the effort for several years before officially stepping into the role.
"Volunteering and contributing to our community is so important!"
Jennifer believes in the power of both individuals and companies to make a difference. "There are so many that are in need in some way or another," she says. "If we can provide just a little bit of relief, then we should do what we can to make that happen."
Why Being an ECC Matters
For Jennifer, being an ECC is both fun and rewarding. It's not just about fundraising; it's about creating a culture of connection and caring within the workplace.
"This is a great way to get employee engagement and camaraderie between your co-workers," she explains. "Seeing the little things that we can do helps paint a bigger picture when it comes to making a large difference in someone's life."
