I have had the distinct pleasure of working alongside Heidi Berardi since she joined the United Way of Greater McHenry County team in June 2019. After growing our campaigns exponentially for two years in a row, Heidi joined our team at a very critical time. She was selected to help us sustain this momentum and keep moving forward. She has worked hard to build solid relationships with the top 25 companies, grow our #iPledge campaign focused on small businesses and handle the day to day with all our workplace campaigns. In the midst of this time period, the pandemic hit and all our focus shifted to raising funds for the emergency relief fund in our county. In summer 2020, Heidi took the reins with the virtual campaign and kept driving for the results to ensure whatever was possible was managed with grace and patience. Heidi has shown up for the community over and over again the past two years and no matter the barriers came to the table with the most positive attitude. Always carrying with her a big bright smile, Heidi has passion in her heart to do good for our community. She is a true community champion with a desire to help raise awareness to help make the largest impact in our McHenry County! Thank you Heidi for always showing up, being a positive force in our community and caring deeply about Community First! Keep shining bright and being a beacon of hope for McHenry County.

Heidi's addition to my Executive Management Team at Rock Valley Credit Union as VP Sales and Service was a key value add to the team. Her leadership and coaching of the frontline staff have proven to be invaluable in contributing to the continued growth and success of the credit union.
