United Way Director Resigns, Bob McLaughlin Named Interim
February 2, 2011
The leader of United Way of Escambia County resigned on Tuesday, and a former county administrator was named to take her place until a permanent replacement is named.
United Way of Escambia County accepted the voluntary resignation of Jean Norman, president/CEO of the agency since March 2005.
Her resignation came days after a director resigned after she forgot to apply for a $283,000 in federal funding for emergency shelter and food. Her final day is Friday.
Board Chair Doris Young said: “During her service, Jean was a committed, hands-on leader who cared deeply about making Escambia County a better place to live. Among many significant contributions, Jean was the first chair of the Unite Escambia Poverty Solutions Team and has been instrumental in helping United Way and the community focus around the goal of reducing poverty by 50 percent by 2020.”
United Way of Escambia County Board member and former Escambia County Administrator Bob McLaughlin has been named as the interim president/CEO. The search for a new president/CEO is underway.
While the leadership transition is under way, United Way of Escambia County board members will continue a recently initiated internal review of all programs, grants, processes, job descriptions, and internal checks and balances. Leadership changes and recommendations that come from the internal review will help the agency become stronger and more focused, according to a statement from the agency.

Its funny the county FORCES its employees to sign the united way charity forms while Bob was the administrator. Bob gets run off and the forms are now voluntary and now Bob works for them. I do not mind charity but don’t force me. There are many other great organizations out there.
