“I am absolutely blessed and honored to join the United Way of Madison County at a key moment in our organization’s history,” Kasambira said. “I recognize and appreciate the tremendous role that the United Way of Madison County and our partner agencies play in supporting individuals, families and impacting communities. I am looking forward to working with the board, staff, United Way partner agencies and volunteers to build on the legacy of our organization as we celebrate 80 years in this community next year.”

Kasambira’s community leadership credentials include: Huntsville Committee of 100, Chair of the Alabama Association of Non-Profits Board of Directors, Leadership Huntsville Alumni, Renasant Bank Advisory Board of Directors, Community Action for Youth (CAFY) Steering Committee, Community Kite Festival Steering Committee, Office of Diversity Equity and Inclusion Taskforce, and The Rotary Club of Huntsville.
