Hello! My name is Amanda Obenhoffer and I am grateful to have the opportunity to introduce myself as the new Director of Marketing and Communications here at United Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley. It seems I’ve joined the team during peak busy season which has allowed me the opportunity to feel like a major asset right out of the gates. I’m thankful to be able to share my skills and talents with such a deserving community. I’ve met a few of you so far, and everyone has been so welcoming, thank you for that! I look forward to meeting more of you and learning about your stories.
And if you want to learn a little bit about me, this is the part where you keep reading. I grew up on a dairy farm in De Pere, WI, which is a place I still visit frequently. This is where I learned about work ethic, the circle of life, how to be flexible, compassionate, empathetic, and adapt quickly. I transferred from UW-Parkside in 2002, to UW-Eau Claire to start my journey as a Blugold. That student journey, post-graduation, transformed into the better part of my early professional career working a as graphic artist and student mentor in Marketing and Communications, with a focus in event promotion. Many great takeaways from my time there, and as they say, Once a Blugold, Always a Blugold!
My family is made up of my husband Dustin, our two young boys August (age 8) and Flynn (age 5), and our dog Rigby (age 9-Beagle mix). We live a little south of Eau Claire in a quite country neighborhood, it’s peaceful and such a privilege to call home.
