United Way of Westchester and Putnam Welcomes New Board Members

POSTED: JANUARY 2012

The United Way of Westchester and Putnam (UWWP) Board of Directors welcomed nine new members on December 1, all of whom have committed to improving the education, income and health of residents in Westchester and Putnam counties.

One of the new members is Meyer G. Koplow, (left) of New Rochelle. Koplow is a partner at Watchell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. He served as the president of Young Israel of New Rochelle, and sat on the boards of several other institutions in the Jewish community. Koplow is Chairman of American Friends of Livnot U’Lehibanot and is on the Board of Trustees for his alma-mater, Brandeis University.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2012, United Way of Westchester and Putnam operates with the fundamental belief that all people deserve a quality education, enough income to support a family, and opportunities for a healthy lifestyle. The not-for-profit organization works with agency partners, government, businesses and community leaders to solve problems that are too complex for any one entity alone. All contributions go toward improving the education, income, and health of the children, youth and families throughout Westchester and Putnam.

United Way’s Hudson Valley Region 2-1-1, covering Westchester and Putnam as well as Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Sullivan and Ulster counties, answers up to 500 calls and 1,000 online inquiries per day ranging from tax, heating, and mortgage questions to childcare, basic needs, natural disaster and crisis calls. United Way of Westchester and Putnam is at 336 Central Park Ave., White Plains.
