TVA’s Ron Loving To Chair Chattanooga Area Combined Federal Campaign
August 9, 2004
Ron Loving, TVA senior vice president of outage planning and execution, is returning as the chair of the 2004 Greater Chattanooga Area Combined Federal Campaign, which is held annually to give federal employees an opportunity to contribute to charitable, health and human service organizations.
This year’s campaign will kick off Sept. 15, and federal agencies will complete their campaigns in November. As chairman, Loving will oversee the 20-county Greater Chattanooga Area CFC spanning across East Tennessee and parts of Alabama and Georgia.
The 2004 campaign theme is “Building Hope.”
“The theme symbolizes what the CFC Campaign can do for a community,” said Loving. “As a result of the generous donations employees give year after year, lives change, communities are transformed, and hope for a better tomorrow continues to live.”
Loving will be assisted during the campaign by other federal agencies in the Chattanooga area. Federal employees who will work with Loving include Calvin Readus, U.S. Navy; Cecy Dunning, U.S. Postal Service; and Karen Gillis, TVA. Also assisting with the campaign will be Delores Lewis, CFC Director with United Way of Chattanooga, Dennis McCloud of TVA, chairman of the Local Federal Coordinating Committee, and Sharon Moore of the USDA Forest Service, vice chairperson of the LFCC.
Each of the 2002 and the 2003 Chattanooga Area Combined Federal Campaigns raised more than $1.5 million for local and national charitable agencies—the highest amounts ever, increasing total gifts since 1987 to more than $21 million. Chattanooga area federal employees also have been honored several times for having the highest average gift per person for campaigns raising $1 million to $2 million worldwide.
Funds raised through 352 campaigns conducted nationwide support more than 1,900 local, national and international charitable agencies.
TVA is the nation’s largest public power provider and is completely selffinanced. TVA provides power to large industries and 158 power distributors that serve approximately 8.5 million consumers in seven southeastern states.
