Advisors

Judi Holley
Judi Holley was for several years president of Do Unto Others, a CFC-approved federation representing emergency relief, development and humanitarian charities. A retired federal employee, she has been involved in the Combined Federal Campaign for almost thirty years. Her experience ranges from that of being a donor, to a local CFC volunteer, to a founder and board member of three federations. She also currently sits on the National CFC Committee, as the designated representative of her federation.

Ms. Holley brings particular expertise in the process of admission and fiscal oversight. As she has remarked, "Contract negotiations, financial oversight, budgeting, regulation compliance, eligibility assessment and  processing, are all part of a federal manager's responsibilities.  To transfer these skills to the world of the non-profit has been a relatively easy process."

Ms. Holley volunteers extensively outside the CFC.  The community organizations with which she has been involved in her home state of Washington have included: The Governor's Advisory Council for Vocational Rehabilitation, the Criminal justice Training Commission, South Puget Sound Cultural Diversity Coalition, the Pierce County Sheriffs Advisory Board and Jail Citing Task Force. She is currently leading a Pierce County pilot program in community involvement sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
