Former Position
Area President of Manatee County
Bronwyn Beightol, currently the Area President of Manatee County, will become the CIO for Manatee, Sarasota and DeSoto counties. Over 12 years ago, Bronwyn began her United Way career at United Way of Manatee County and was part of the leadership team when they merged three years ago with United Way Suncoast. She served as Interim Area President in Sarasota and DeSoto two years ago. Under her tenure she has worked with her team to lead the transformation of United Way’s role in our community, developed a Community Impact agenda, integrated community into United Way’s impact and established several initiatives including ReadingPals, LearningPals, Reading Rooms, and The Big Plan. The impetus for these changes is the retirement of Sue Wetzel, Area President of Sarasota and DeSoto counties, effective June 30. Sue has been an outstanding leader, driving growth in United Way Suncoast programs and reach. The pending vacancy led to an evaluation and transformation of leadership within the United Way Suncoast structure to better fit the ever-changing needs of the community.
