United Way of North Central Ohio announces new development director

Carmon Walter is the new development director for United Way of North Central Ohio (UWNCO) in Crawford and Wyandot counties.

Walter came onboard Oct. 31 and will assume responsibility for coordinating United Way’s annual campaign in the region.

“Carmon jumped right into the deep end,” said UWNCO Executive Director Amber Wertman. “She spent her first day at the workplace campaign kickoff event for Ohio Mutual Insurance Group, one of our most generous corporate donors.”

As development director, Walter will develop and manage workplace campaigns with local businesses, coordinate fundraising events, and build relationships with donors and community impact partners.
