Employee Campaign Manager Spotlight

Susan C. Hass
Intel Corporation
Executive Administrator

Susan Hass has been an Intel employee for over 18 years. She provides executive administrative support for Netbook and Tablet Group, and is also Program Manager for Intel’s Diversity Day, Kid To Work Day, and the Community Giving Campaign. As Intel's Employee Campaign Manager she works with Gwen Roberts, United Way Silicon Valley's liaison to Intel Corporation, to develop campaign strategies and goals. They meet before and throughout the campaign to assess progress, promote events and interact with potential donors to provide information about the donation process.

This year Intel employees increased donations to the annual campaign by $225,981, a 31.5% increase year over year, raising a total of $943,000. The Intel Foundation matches donations up to $10M at all Intel sites, with the match going to the United Way Silicon Valley Community Action Fund. 

Reaching out, asking employees face to face for their support of the campaign

“The campaign planning team has learned by trial and error over the years what works and what does not work here at our site. We have determined that we need to reach out to as many individuals as possible, face to face, presenting the key messages and listening to and responding to their questions and concerns. Emails and online articles are not enough. It’s the personal ask that made the difference in this year’s campaign. We had more people doing the asking than ever before, at meetings, both small and large, and over coffee at pre-arranged breakfast get-togethers. Being an asset to the community where we work each day is one of Intel’s core values and one we diligently promote during the campaign. Employees see that value printed on the back of their badges. We point to it while we’re speaking to them, and there is no denying that it is an important one and the main reason for doing the asking.” -Susan C. Hass

United Way Silicon Valley is truly grateful for the continued partnership and support of Intel, and we are honored to feature Susan Hass as our Employee Campaign Manager spotlight.
