Chattanooga Area Combined Federal Campaign Announces 2003 Chair
July 18, 2003
Ron Loving, TVA’s senior vice president of outage planning and execution, has been named chair of the 2003 Greater Chattanooga Area Combined Federal Campaign, held annually to give federal employees an opportunity to contribute to charitable, health and human service organizations.
This year’s CFC kickoff will be September 9, with federal agencies completing their campaigns in November. As chairman, Loving will oversee the 20-county Greater Chattanooga CFC spanning across East Tennessee and parts of Alabama and Georgia. The 2003 campaign theme is “Caring for Communities.”
“Chattanooga area federal employees are very generous givers who care deeply about the communities in which they live and work,” said Loving. “They know that their gift to CFC is a contribution that can be felt by others for years to come.”
Loving will be assisted with the campaign by other federal agencies in the Chattanooga area. Federal employees who will work with Loving include George Cupp, Internal Revenue Service-Chattanooga; Jane Baxter, U.S. Postal Service; and Tanya Adams, TVA. Also assisting with the campaign will be Dennis McCloud of TVA, who serves as chairman of the Greater Chattanooga CFC Board, and Sharon Moore of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, who is vice chairman of the Greater Chattanooga CFC Board.
The 2002 Chattanooga Area CFC raised more than $1.5 million for local and national charitable agencies—its highest amount ever, increasing total gifts since 1987 to more than $19.5 million. Chattanooga area federal employees also have been honored several times in recent years for having the highest average gift per person for campaigns raising $1 million to $2 million worldwide.
Funds raised through 365 campaigns conducted nationwide support more than 1,600 local, national and international charitable agencies.
TVA is the nation’s largest public power producer and is completely self-financed. TVA provides power to large industries and 158 power distributors that serve 8.3 million consumers in seven southeastern states.
