JESSICA SAFRANSKY SCHACHT, PRESIDENT

Jessica Safransky Schacht serves as the chief operating officer at United Way of Racine County (UWRC). She has been with the organization professionally for 18 years, but her connection to United Way began in the mid-1990s when she volunteered for a youth-as-grant makers program that received United Way funding. In 2007, she was hired to transition that same program from a funded partner to a United Way initiative. Since then, Jessica has held a number of roles within the organization and has contributed to the growth and development of UWRC’s impact programs and initiatives, community investment process, and strategic volunteer engagement opportunities. In her current role, she oversees the day-to-day work of the organization. She is committed to using data to reveal inequities and drive continuous improvement.

Jessica is a proud graduate of Racine Unified School District and Carthage College. She lives in Mount Pleasant with her husband Wayne and their children, Mason and Olivia. She serves as the treasurer of the Gilmore Fine Arts PTA and volunteers with UWRC's VITA program each tax season. A true Wisconsinite, Jessica loves family, cheese, the Milwaukee Brewers, and live music-especially the Dave Matthews Band. 

SHARON JOHNSON, TREASURER
