Loaned Executives are an important part of the Suncoast Combined Federal Campaign. They are individuals who, with the agreement of their supervisors, have made a substantial commitment to fundraising efforts in our community, helping local charities raise money to improve the lives of those in need. A Loaned Executive must be a self starter, goal oriented, eager to learn, have an interest in their community and a desire to advance in their career. They must possess good interpersonal skills and have a willingness to be in a sales environment. As a program benefit, Loaned Executives return to their command or federal agency with community awareness, and solid relationships with their peers in other federal offices. Loaned Executives also benefit from events such as Day of Caring, which provides a volunteer, in-depth perspective on community giving. Guest speakers and specialists are an integral part of the program, bringing knowledge and years of experience. These speakers add real world perspective and show how current events affect the non-profit sector and the community at large. Speakers from agencies such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters, American Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and The Salvation Army offer agency perspective on the value of CFC contributions. In addition, Loaned Executives visit numerous human, environmental and animal service agencies. Loaned Executives training topics include account analysis, campaign planning and public speaking. Other topics include CFC regulations, Keyworker/Ambassador training, money management requirements, volunteer motivation, CFC donor and volunteer recognition and federal achievement awards.
