Tom Hund, executive vice president and CFO of BNSF Railway, will serve as the 2007-08 chair of the United Way of Tarrant County Board of Directors. He replaces Mitch Weatherly, who will serve on the Board as immediate past chair. Hund took office immediately after the election, which was held at the quarterly United Way Board meeting on June 19.
 

On taking office, Hund said, “I have been involved in United Way for the past several years, both on the Board and as a volunteer, and I am also on the Board of one of the partner agencies. I see first-hand how the organization fits into our community.

“The United Way and its partner agencies are a vital part of Tarrant County,” he added. “Our Board, working with the United Way staff and many volunteers, ensures that almost $25 million in donations are distributed in an efficient and equitable manner to address the greatest needs of our community.”
