The United Way of Rutland County (UWRC), the largest non-governmental fundraiser for local services in the community, announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed Ashley Bride as Executive Director. She replaces Caprice Hover who retired from her position at the beginning of the month.

The Board of Directors, through an Executive Search Committee, began the search process starting in January and did a full review of the scope of responsibilities.
