United Way of Tarrant County has selected Tim McKinney as its new president and CEO.

A native of Fort Worth, McKinney formerly was executive vice president at Texas Capital Bank. He has been active in both the nonprofit and business communities in Tarrant County for the past 30 years.
 

“We are delighted that we are able to fill this important role with someone as qualified and experienced as Tim McKinney,” said Tom Hund, chairman of United Way's board of directors. “He brings exceptional leadership and management skills formed during his extensive banking career, as well as deep relationships throughout Tarrant County.”

McKinney earned a bachelor’s of business administration in financial management from Texas Christian University and then served in the Air Force as a captain and wing navigator in Vietnam. He also attended the National Graduate Trust School of Northwestern University and served there as a member of the board of regents. A Certified Financial Planning Counselor, McKinney retired as president of Bank of America, Fort Worth in 2000.

“Tim is a respected business leader and has been involved with United Way for many years," said Ann Rice, United Way's executive vice president of community development. "He has shown deep commitment to community change, as a volunteer in many organizations throughout Tarrant County, and now as a professional within United Way.”

West Presbyterian Special Care Center, Texas Christian University College of Education and The Exchange Club.

“I have spent 36 rewarding and successful years in the Fort Worth banking community, but the opportunity to serve as president of the United Way of Tarrant County was one I could not let pass by,” McKinney said. “Nothing has energized me as much as being involved in community service, so I look forward to working with our United Way staff, board and volunteers in meeting the human service needs in our communities.”

Tim is married to Ann McKinney, and they have two children.
