Making a Difference in Community

Pat Reiten
President, Pacific Power

Our community will continue to flourish when everyone has the opportunity to succeed. In its 99 years in business, Pacific Power has a long history of civic involvement. Here in our region, United Way of the Columbia-Willamette is a major part of Pacific Power’s corporate giving program. We have faith and trust in United Way’s ability to identify areas of greatest concern to our community, and directing resources to those areas where they can have the most impact.

From a personal standpoint, I’ve had the amazing privilege of being part of United Way campaigns throughout the years and witnessing the good work that local nonprofits are doing locally. Being involved in the early stages of developing the Young Leaders Society was also a great experience, because we helped set the foundation for the next generation of civic leaders and philanthropists.
