David Lewis has been named President of United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley (UWGLV) following unanimous approval by the Search Committee. The appointment was approved by the Board of Directors.

Lewis most recently served as Acting President after Susan Gilmore resigned from the post May 1.

Lewis was hired by Gilmore in January 2012 as Vice President of Resource Development. He began his work with United Way in 1988, serving as Campaign Director in Southeastern Pennsylvania, and prior to joining UWGLV, Lewis was Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in Lancaster County.

United Way Chairman Drew Lewis, Vice President of Business Development at ADP, said, "When we hired David as Vice President of Resource Development, we were planning for the future and we knew he was a strong candidate to succeed Susan. With his extraordinary background and exceptional experience within the United Way system, we were grateful to have such a highly-qualified individual primed and able to lead this organization."
