United Way of Will County President & CEO, Mike Hennessy, retires after 31 years

It is with mixed emotions that we share an announcement this morning. 31 years ago, Mike Hennessy became the President & CEO of our United Way of Will County.

Over the decades, there is little he has not witnessed, overcame, or achieved: three business-model evolutions, highest revenue on record, community-solution incubators, devastating tornadoes, home explosions, and even now, a global pandemic. When faced with crisis or adversity, he did so with tact and grace and never lost sight of what was most important – our community, our partners and the very people we serve.
