Moorestown Resident Named to United Way Regional Board of Directors

A Moorestown resident who is a partner at Archer & Greiner PC has been named to the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey (UWGPSNJ) Regional Board of Directors.

Frances A. McElhill specializes in providing legal services to nonprofit organizations at Archer & Greiner PC.

“Volunteers are the backbone of our organization and the foundation of our ability to create lasting Impact,” Jim Cawley, president and CEO of UWGPSNJ, said. “We’re thrilled to have a volunteer with Fran’s experience and dedication join our regional board. Her passion for the nonprofit community and dedication to making our region a better place for all community members is truly commendable, and we look forward to her continued contributions to our work.”

McElhill has been volunteering with the United Way for 24 years. She was a member of the Board of Directors of United Way of Burlington County from 1991 to 1999, when she chaired the Fund Distribution Committee. She also served on the Board of Directors of United Way of Camden County from 2002 to 2012, and played an instrumental role on the regional design team that led the 2012 merger of seven local United Ways to form UWGPSNJ. Since the merger, she remains an active volunteer, and currently chairs United Way’s Local Board in Camden County.

“I’m delighted to continue serving the communities where I live and work as a member of United Way’s Regional Board of Directors,” McElhill said. “I have been a United Way donor and volunteer for nearly 25 years. In this time, I have personally seen how donor contributions have a real Impact for those most in need in our communities. I truly believe in the power of what United Way and the community can do together.”

UWGPSNJ is governed by a Regional Board of Directors which oversees six local boards across the region. These local operating boards are the backbone of United Way’s volunteer structure and are responsible for the development and implementation of local Impact agendas, campaigns, community engagement and volunteerism for the communities they serve.

The dedicated volunteers who sit on United Way’s boards represent the business community, organized labor and public and nonprofit sectors. These individuals are leaders in their fields, bringing experience, creativity and passion for helping strengthen communities throughout the region.
