Radia joins United Way Worldwide major giving council
United Way announced that Suku Radia, former CEO of Bankers Trust, has been selected to join a new United Way Worldwide council focused on growing major and planned giving to the organization. The U.S. Council on Tocqueville and Million Dollar Round Table will elevate and promote major giving strategies as a key revenue driver for local United Ways across the nation. “Suku has made tremendous and transformative contributions in communities around the world throughout his entire life,” said Mary Sellers, U.S. president of United Way Worldwide, “and now we have the good fortune of having him serve on the council to scale United Way’s impact across the country.” Radia has served on the boards of 37 nonprofits and has helped raise more than $50 million for causes in Greater Des Moines. He chaired United Way of Central Iowa’s campaign twice and served on the Tocqueville Society committee, increasing donations in those years. He currently serves on United Way of Central Iowa’s Campaign Cabinet.
