Local United Way Brings in Interim Executive

Third Sector Company is thrilled to announce that Douglas Yeiser has been selected as the Interim Executive Director of the United Way of San Luis Obispo County in San Luis Obispo, California.

Their focus is on education, income and health – the building blocks for a good quality of life. United Way recruits people and organizations who bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to get things done.

 

I’m proud to serve as the Interim CEO at United Way of San Luis Obispo County,” says Douglas. “Following the long and distinguished career of the retired CEO, the Board sought a time of transition to evaluate the organization’s position in the community, affirm their role looking forward, define what they need in their next leader, and prepare a smooth entry for that new leader. I’m appreciative of the Board’s partnership and willingness to work together as a team to accomplish a clear set of objectives during this period.

 

Douglas is a graduate of Interim Executives Academy Class #12 and has over 30 years of experience leading United Ways across the country through innovation, turnarounds and mergers.
