UTICA — The United Way of the Mohawk Valley recently announced a new addition to the Utica office board of directors.
Utica native Colin LaReaux is a local attorney and entrepreneur with a history of community involvement through his nonprofit work fundraising for pediatric-cancer patients and their families in Central New York.
“We are excited to add Colin to our board of directors. He will play a vital role in building a stronger community by improving access to health, education, and financial stability — the building blocks for a good quality of life,” United Way of the Mohawk Valley CEO and Executive Director Susan Litera said in a statement.
A New Hartford resident, LaReaux returned to the area after practicing downstate for several years and said he recognized the positive changes the Mohawk Valley has undergone. He is excited to continue to not only witness the improvements, but also to help facilitate them through his position as a board member with the United Way.
“The Mohawk Valley has come a long way in the recent past, but we have a lot of work to do. I understand the many challenges we face as a community, and I am excited to join the United Way,” LaReaux said. “As a board member, I endeavor to apply my personal and professional experience and perspective to help further the United Way’s mission of improving access to healthcare, education, and financial stability.”
The United Way of the Mohawk Valley is a local, independent nonprofit organization funding area programs and services, providing a safety net for our community and addressing crucial community issues in the impact areas of health, education, and income.
