With more than 35 years of experience as a business owner, Cara has learned that people really are at the heart of every successful organization. She has built relationships, solved problems, and supported others throughout her career.
She is grateful to be joining United Way and am excited to support an organization that's all about strengthening our community.
Her background in business administration, customers service, vendor relations, and community outreach has taught her compassion, dependability, and respect. After years in business and the floral industry, she's looking forward to using her experience to give back. Outside of work, Cara enjoys gardening, floral design, spending time with her grandchildren, traveling, rockhounding, sewing, and canning.
This role is more than just a job to her - it's a change to serve, connect and be part of something meaningful.
