The search for a new executive director of the United Way of Ellis County is underway.

On Friday, Josh Dreher, president of the United Way of Ellis County, accepted the resignation of Jason Rauch as the executive director, effective immediately.

“We appreciate all of the hard work that Jason put into the United Way during his time with us, and our board wishes him the best in his future endeavors,” Dreher said. “The board will continue to provide leadership for our organization through this transition period. Their continued commitment to the United Way will ensure that the 2015 campaign will remain on track and the 2015 CARE Council process will continue on the same schedule as in the past.”
