IMPACT CABINET

Naomi Boyer, PhD

Community Impact Chair
United Way of Central Florida

The Impact Cabinet meets four times a year in March, June, September and December. The Cabinet is responsible for understanding local needs and driving lasting change for education, income and health. Over 100 members of a separate volunteer group called, “Community Investment Teams” (C.I.T.), meet each Spring to monitor individual program contributions to goals and award effective programs with grants for the year.
