in the field. Lovett brings a wealth of knowledge and
expertise to the position, poised to continue United
Way’s mission of improving lives and strengthening the
community. During the transition period, Lovett will be
working closely with Schineis until her official end date.
In addition to these changes in leadership, United
Way’s workspace has recently undergone significant
renovations. The once 4,400-square-foot office has been
downsized to accommodate a small but mighty staff size
and to optimize operational efficiency, thereby reducing
overhead expenses. The office transformation includes a
fresh paint job, new carpeting and about half the operating
space that once existed.
To celebrate these momentous occasions, United Way
of Martin County hosted an open house on April 12. The
event served as an opportunity to welcome Lovett into
his new role and showcase the organization’s revitalized
workspace with internal partners and stakeholders.
As we bid farewell to Schineis and warmly welcome
Lovett into his new role, United Way of Martin County
is not only transitioning leadership but also transforming
its workspace to better serve our community. The recent
