Chris Williams

Retired, Community Volunteer

Why did you choose to serve on the United Way of Southwest Michigan board? It seemed like the perfect opportunity to use my time, experiences and talents to serve my community. In addition, we retired to Southwest Michigan in 2023, so it also seemed like a great way to learn more about the area and to integrate.

What does our mission mean to you? Provide targeted and effective resources to our community so that all have the opportunity to strive for, and believe in, the American Dream.

What is one local cause or community issue that you are especially passionate about, and why? Providing job and career skills that not only help our residents, but also create an effective labor pool for existing and prospective employers to utilize.

When you're not working or volunteering, what’s a favorite hobby or activity you enjoy? I'm a guitar player in three local bands.
