The United Way of Greater St. Joseph has hired a new Campaign Director.

Kylee Strough, United Way President said Monday that Renita Neville has joined the United Way staff team as Campaign Director.

Neville comes to United Way after almost two years with MERIL as a Community Relations and Grant Specialist. Prior to joining MERIL, Neville spent nearly 20-years managing client services and projects in the healthcare technology industry.

“United Way had an excellent pool of applicants to choose from and after several interviews, we feel that Renita will do a great job as Campaign Director for United Way and be a nice addition to the staff team,” Strough said. “Renita’s client services and project management skills will translate well to managing the annual fundraising campaign and working with thousands of donors. We are excited to have her join the team.”

Neville replaces Sarah Weaver who recently accepted a position at First American Title.

“I’m honored to be a part of this organization that is so respected, and that plays such a critical role in meeting the needs of our community,” Neville said.

Neville’s primary responsibility will be to provide staff leadership to the annual fundraising campaign.
