"United Way and Liberty Bank have always had a great relationship, but when a member of our board encouraged me to volunteer for United Way three years ago, I was amazed to learn just how much they do to help people in our community," Mayberry said. "Even after being involved for three years now, it's still surreal to grasp just how many people United Way touches and how much amazing work they do in the community. The more I learn about what all United Way does, the more committed I become. I feel that being the board chair is such a great honor, and I hope to live up to it."
