Executive Director
Gaila Demel
Gaila has been involved with the Ellinwood community for more than 40 years and was inspired by the opportunities and involvement she had with UWCK as a United Way Agency in her previous position with ElderCare, Inc. Gaila quickly developed a deep passion for the charitable work and mission of her fellow not-for-profit partner agencies in her time with ElderCare and the partnership between the agencies UWCK supports. Her 24 year career path in helping others ranges from sales and operations for a large Assisted Living provider to the front desk at the Ellinwood Grade School. “It is my nature to help people find answers and to work hard to meet goals.”
