United Way of St. Clair County Executive Director Retires

United Way of St. Clair County (UWSCC) Executive Director, Douglas A. Dolph, announces his retirement to be effective on April 30, 2020.  Mr. Dolph has been with UWSCC for the past 7 years.  In 2013 He joined the UWSCC staff as Campaign Director.  Then, in 2014, he stepped up into the Executive Director position.  Mr. Dolph is known throughout the non-profit and business world for his assessing and negotiator skills, building bridges between people and organizations, and being well-connected in the community.  His leadership, community insight, and uplifting personality will be greatly missed by staff and volunteers throughout the organization.

 

Taking over as Executive Director will be the current Campaign Director, Brent Gillette.  Mr. Gillette has been with UWSCC since 2016.  He brings with him over 20 years of local United Way involvement and over 28 years of strong fundraising, management, and public relations experience.  Mr. Gillette is accredited though Michigan State University and Wayne State University in leadership, human resources, information and referral, and emergency management.  Since joining the staff of UWSCC, Mr. Gillette has become very involved with the community throughout St. Clair County.  In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his ever-growing family.  Mr. Gillette is married to Tammy, for over 40 years, and together, they have four grown children, ten grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

 

 The transition from Campaign Director to Executive Director will be seamless, as he has been training with Mr. Dolph on all aspects of the Executive Director’s roles and responsibilities.  Mr. Dolph’s retirement gathering will be immediately following the UWSCC Annual Meeting on Thursday, April 30, 2020 at Port Huron Elks Lodge, 3292 Beach Road in Port Huron.
