Wake Up! with United Way: Building a Better Normal
 
"As we rebuild from the pandemic, we have an opportunity to rethink how, together, we address our challenges,” remarked Efrat Feferman, United Way of Monroe County Executive Director. “This series aims to dig a little deeper into the underlying issues contributing to poverty and economic insecurity, while also bringing to light innovative solutions and how we can best support rebuilding a better normal."

About the Series

As the region rebuilds from the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Wake Up! with United Way season focused on Building a Better Normal. This monthly speaker series explored the underlying issues contributing to poverty and economic insecurity while also bringing to light innovative solutions and how to support rebuilding a better normal.

Each month’s discussion focused on how we can all create a brighter future that works for everyone in our community, including topics like homelessness, food security, and workers’ rights.

The Wake Up! with United Way 2021 season was a collaborative project of United Way of Monroe County and IU’s Political and Civic Engagement Program. Thanks to the 2021 sponsors for making Wake Up! with United Way possible: Premier Series Sponsor Bloomington Township; Presenting Sponsors IU Credit Union and Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County; and Program Sponsors Duke Energy and Old National Bank.
