“I like people and I like the community. I am very excited to co-chair the 2014 Campaign with Dean,” she said in a press release. “Chatham-Kent is such a wonderful community to live in and sometimes we just don’t realize how good we have it. United Way is truly an excellent way for all of us to support what we truly believe in.”
Dean oversees the operations of all Sun Media publications in Chatham-Kent as publisher and director.
He has volunteered with a number of local charity organizations, most recently with Junior Achievement.
“Chatham-Kent is a great place to live, and United Way is a great charitable organization. I’m very proud and honoured to be named co-chair with my wife Margery for 2014,” Dean said in a release.
In the coming weeks, the couple will recruit and train the 2014 campaign volunteers. The 2014 fundraising goal will be announced in September.
