Meet UWCC’s Newest Employee

Meet Josh Sutherland, United Way’s new Community Systems and Data Coordinator

Josh Sutherland is a first-year Master of Public Health student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, concentrating in Health Policy. Originally from Overland Park, Kansas, he attended St. Olaf College in Minnesota before gaining experience with the Minnesota Department of Health’s Regulation Division, housing stabilization organizations, and biomedical IT consulting. Joshua cares deeply about the communities he has worked with and is excited to support the residents of Chatham County. He believes that every person deserves equitable support and is inspired by United Way of Chatham County’s Bold Goal and its commitment to building a stronger, more equitable community.

Just a couple of weeks into his new role, Josh shared what drew him to United Way and the work ahead:

“I’m excited to work with United Way of Chatham County because we bring together people and partners who are committed to building systems that reflect our shared vision for equity and lasting community impact.”

Josh will be working closely with United Way Impact Manager Daisy Butzer, who is helping shape his learning experience and role at United Way. Daisy shared her excitement about welcoming Josh to the team and the skills he brings to the work: “I’m so glad to have Josh on the team! He’ll be working with our partners to keep our CHC Community Dashboard up to date, supporting internal communications, and exploring new impact opportunities to support our Bold Goal. Josh has experience working both directly with clients and in high-level data, so I’m excited for him to build his skills in the middle ground we work in.”
