Show United Fund Holds Training Session The first of four training ses-sios ses-sios began last Friday morning for 88 Account Executives who will work on the coming United Fund campaign. Conducting each of the meetings will be Harold O. Molitor, general campaign chairman for the 1962 appeal for funds. , The meetings are being held in the auditorium of Mt. Fuel Supply Company, 180 East First South Street. Mr. Molitor expressed his views on the program this way: "It is felt that in order to complete com-plete these the main considerations considera-tions a maximum amount of time of 20 to 30 hours would be all that is necessary to do the job. This 20 to 30 hour period of time would be spread out over six months. By having only six to ten firms to contact and work with there is a much closer liaison liai-son maintained by the account executive to the firm and a more personal relationship estab-( estab-( lished." Mr. Molitor further stated, "The Account Executives will be making the contacts and doing I the main job, but a selected team I of men will also be assigned to the account executive. They are I to give help and advice where J needed and to be there for strength when the situation calls I for it. Each Team Chairman has I six account executives to work ? with. In turn, there is a division chairman who supervises and directs the work of each team chairman." Mr. Molitor said that the 88 account executives will begin their contacts in early June with the chief executive of the firms assigned to them. 75 per cent of the account executives are the same men as last year and will not require an extensive training program, only a brief . orientation of any new developments. The men will have the same assignments as last year and here of course, lies the strength of the campaign. Mr. Molitor further stated that it is the hope of the campaign officials to complete the campaign cam-paign in a six week period of time this year. The 1962 appeal is scheduled for "kick off" during dur-ing the first week of September. |
