This is not goodbye, just see you later:
The legend that is Tim Allan is saying his fond farewell to United Way WA after eleven years of exceptional dedication, flexibility and service.
Tim has made an enormous impact in the WA community with various hats, and many of our corporate and community partners will miss his smiling face, professional approach and warm and reliable nature.
Tim is moving on to some new and exciting challenges, closer to home where he’ll have more time to focus on his young family. He leaves behind huge shoes to fill, and a team that insists
“This is not goodbye, just see you later.”
