Smoky Mountain Region Combined Federal Campaign Announces 2007 Chair

August 10, 2007

TVA Vice President of Facilities Management Terrell Burkhart will chair the 2007 Smoky Mountain Region Combined Federal Campaign, which is held annually to give federal employees an opportunity to contribute to charitable, health and human service organizations. The campaign will begin mid- to late September.

“This year’s local theme, ‘Giving Together,’ captures the essence of what a combined federal campaign is all about,” says Burkhart. “The CFC gives federal employees an opportunity to join together to give our time and money to help make a difference in communities where we live and work. These contributions can make a difference for years to come.”

Federal employees who will assist Burkhart and Suzan Bowman, who is the local federal coordinating campaign chair, include Janet Herrin, TVA executive campaign manager; Katie Bell and Karen Ford of TVA, campaign co-chairs; Tammy Wilson and Erven Williams, TVA loaned executives; and LaWan Davis and Norimi Bradner, U.S. Postal Service loaned executives.

The 2006 Smoky Mountain Region CFC raised more than $779,000 for local and national charitable organizations, exceeding the campaign goal of $700,000. Smoky Mountain Region CFC has collected donations of more than $4.5 million since 2001.

Funds raised through 365 federal campaigns conducted nationwide support more than 1,900 local, national and international charitable agencies.
