2016 Communitarian Award Banquet

United Way of Anderson County is pleased to announce that Dr. Evans Whitaker has been selected as the 2016 Communitarian of The Year.  Dr. Whitaker was chosen by the past recipients of the award for his commitment to the betterment of the community through his leadership at Anderson University.

Throughout its history, Anderson County has been blessed with outstanding leaders who have pioneered thoughts, ideas and initiatives that have resulted in our community being a better, brighter, and healthier community in which to live, work and raise families. Many of these persons are remembered for or are associated with one particular cause or initiative in Anderson County. There are other leaders who have distinguished themselves by their work, guidance and philanthropy for all segments of the Anderson County community. These leaders possess one common trait- they understand that they must work and support initiatives that benefit all of the community- every neighborhood, every faith, every organization, and every individual. These COMMUNITARIANS set the example for others by their genuine care for the Anderson community.
