Jennifer Harris has been named executive director of The United Way of Huntington County. She assumed her duties on February 14, 2022.

Harris recently moved to the north side of Huntington from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

She said, “I have lots of family in the Fort Wayne area and it just seemed like time to move to be closer.”

Harris continued, “I spent 13 years with Associated Bank working in operations and servicing. The last five years, I have been working for a large Green Bay Catholic Parish of 1,500+ registered families as their Business and Development Manager. The parish has a strong culture of hospitality, stewardship and community outreach.”

Harris has a Bachelor’s in Business Management and Marketing and a Master’s in Business Administration from Lake College (now University) of Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

“I am really excited about the impacts the United Way has in the community. I’m so excited to meet with people and learn what they are most passionate about in the community, and to share how the United Way impacts those areas,” stated Harris.

She went on to say, “I haven’t been here very long, but I can already see what a caring community this is. Everyone I have met is so welcoming and ready to share input on anything I might need. It’s already starting to feel like home!”

Harris has a 15-year-old son, Brady, who loves football, video games and Corgis.
