“I really want you to continue to plug in with us and become even stronger ambassadors for the United Way of the Mid-South. This is an activist role, this is a highly visible role, this is an extraordinarily valuable role and we’re very blessed to have you all in the positions where you are, in the jobs that you have, and the agencies you are representing,” Robinson said. He also noted that the presence of young professionals in the United Way network shows our system is filled with bright, young talent.Robinson urged the young professionals to continue to move upward and onward in their ever more visible positions in the social and professional sphere. “Whatever you do and whatever the problem is in our community, we can ‘live united and solve it together,'” Robinson said, echoing United Way’s popular slogan.
