Last week, we were proud to present long-time United Way supporter Karen Dalton with a King Charles III Coronation Medal.
The King Charles III Coronation Medal is awarded by the Government of Canada to recognize individuals of all ages and from all walks of life who have made a significant difference in their communities, provinces, territories or who have attained an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada.
UWEM nominated Karen to recognize her 40 years of support for United Way in our area as a volunteer, a workplace coordinator, allocations volunteer, and campaign cabinet member. Karen contributed her insight over eight years on our Board of Directors and even served as interim chief executive officer prior to Kelly officially taking on the role.
We were also very pleased to learn that while our local United Way was nominating Karen Dalton for this medal, United Way Centraide Canada was nominating Kelly Ziegner, CEO and President of United Way Elgin Middlesex, for the same honour.
UWCC’s nomination read: “With 25 years of service at United Way Elgin Middlesex and within the non-profit sector, Kelly’s leadership and vision have helped to shape our Movement as Canada’s leading social impact movement , addressing the essential needs of our communities.”

We are very proud that Karen and Kelly have been publicly recognized for their strong and compassionate leadership, and for their dedication to our community.
