2003 Leadership Givers

The wide-open space and the challenge to tame a wild country drew the first settlers to Midland. These people believed in themselves and in the land. They had dreams for making a better life and they worked hard to see those dreams grow into reality.

That pioneer spirit never died. It exists today in Midlanders who want to better their community and to help others. The United Way of Midland has established a Leadership Giving Program for those whose generosity reflects extraordinary concern about the community and the needs of Midlanders.

In 1990, under the leadership of Charles Spence, Editor of the Midland Reporter Telegram, the Midland Investor Society began with an exciting 160 Charter Members. Many of those Charter Members continue to invest in our community through the United Way.

In 1997, under the leadership of Campaign Chairman Tony Best, this leadership giving program was expanded to include individuals giving 1.5 % of their annual income or $1000 or more. Membership grew to exceed 500 members and is continuing to grow today.
