Leaders United Program

Each year, Our Promise asks state agencies and departments to loan one or more of their valued employees to participate in the Leaders United Program, formerly the Loaned Executive Program, for a 12-week working session to assist in the annual giving campaign. Leaders United participants (LU’s) serve as an extension of the Our Promise team and work full-time in their local United Way office from September through December.

The Leaders United program was created to align professional leadership and development opportunities of the campaign with CalHR’s leadership competencies of Business Acumen, Inspirational Leadership, Results Oriented, Stewardship, Talent Management and Vision & Strategic Thinking. This program targets analysts and staff services managers, integrating a framework of topics for each competency to enhance their leadership capabilities.
