Our host, LUL President & CEO Lyndon Pryor, is joined by Adria Johnson, President & CEO of Metro United Way. Before becoming CEO in 2021, Johnson served as its Chief Impact Officer. The organization's mission is to improve lives in the seven-county region with a focus on thriving kids, strong households, and an equitable community.
The duo discusses the challenges of leading a non-profit, the struggles in advocacy work, and the dream of putting non-profits out of business due to the need no longer being required.
Johnson graduated from Ball State with a BS in Accounting and from the University of Louisville with a Master of Business Administration. She spent several years working for the Louisville Metro Government and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. She was named a Muhammad Ali Center Daughter of Greatness in 2023.
