PIONEERS WELCOME NEW LEADER

Nonprofit leader to join world’s largest

industry-related volunteer corps

Denver, Colo.–May 7, 2012– Pioneers, the largest industry-related volunteer organization in the world, today announced that it is welcoming Charlene Hill as its new Executive Director.

“I am excited to have Charlene join us at this important moment in our history,” said James M. Schmit, CenturyLink Idaho Vice President and Chairman of the Board of the Pioneers. “Her experience and expertise in nonprofit leadership will be critical as we enter our second century of service to North America”

Ms. Hill joins the Pioneers after consulting within the nonprofit sector, with a focus on executive management, organizational strategy and development and information technology. Prior to her consulting work, Ms. Hill spent 5 years at the Donor Awareness Council, where she helped establish Colorado as number one in the nation with a 65% organ and tissue donor designation rate. She also served as the Executive Vice President and Interim CEO of the Urban League of Metropolitan Denver.

Originally the Telephone Pioneers of America, Pioneers was founded in 1911. Over the past Century, the Pioneers has grown to 620,000 current members across the U.S. and Canada, who annually volunteer more than 12 million hours of service to their communities.

“While the telecom industry has evolved and changed over the past 100 years, Pioneers have remained a steadfast thread committed to our core tenets of service, fellowship and loyalty,” said Hill. “I am so proud and excited to have the opportunity to join this amazing organization as it enters its second Century of service.”

Throughout their 100-year history, the Pioneers have helped millions of people in a wide variety of unique ways including:

Inventing beeping baseballs so that visually-impaired children can play baseball as well as beeping Easter eggs so visually-impaired children can participate in egg hunts
Building special trikes so that children with motor and developmental issues can ride bikes
Repairing thousands of Talking Books for the National Library Service so the visually impaired can read
Painting maps of the U.S. and Canada across more than 10,000 playgrounds to teach children geography

Dan Katze Elected Vice President

Dan Katze Elected New Outlook Group Vice President for 2013 Pioneer Year

Dan Katze joined the telecom industry in 1966, beginning with Bell Of Pennsylvania,outside of Philadelphia. He worked in Central Offices until going to Headquarters as a Staff Manager in the EEOC/Personnel department. He and his family moved to Denver, Colorado in 1982, first transferring to AT&T. His 35 year career took him through the spinoffs, first to Lucent Technologies, and then to Avaya, Inc. Dan managed engineering and technician teams, and served as Operations Manager for a technical call center. He retired in 2001.

His Pioneer career began in 1972 as a “Future Pioneer”. Since 1985 he has held
many officer positions at the Council and Chapter levels. He has worked on many committees and his efforts to keep Pioneering up to date have helped steer the organization toward a new definition of Pioneer Partners, eliminating a required number of years service needed to become a member, and the current membership trial studying the possibility of signing members from outside the telecom industry.

Dan’s passion for Pioneering is well known throughout all Pioneer Groups. Dan and his partner Nancy now reside in Loveland, Colorado and enjoy being around their family during summer stays in Glendo, Wyoming.

Our Mission

Pioneers is a network of volunteers who effect immediate, tangible change in local communities, in partnership with their sponsors.

Our Vision

We are the recognized world-class leader in volunteerism. We are respected and valued by our members, our corporations, the global community and our industry. We are committed to the diversity and personal growth of our members, the success of our companies and to improving the quality of life in our communities.

Pioneering Values

Inclusive and Relevant
We embrace members with different backgrounds, skills, and beliefs, because we know fresh ideas and unique viewpoints are necessary to meet the current and future needs of the people we serve.

Trustworthy and Compassionate
Our incredible success to date and our strong future is due entirely to our network of understanding, sensitive volunteers who thrive on responding to the critical needs of their communities.

Transparent and Accountable
As a volunteer and donation-driven organization, we make a promise to all our members and sponsors that we will be open about our business practices while maintaining the highest standards of financial accountability and integrity.

Our History

The Pioneers legacy is long and inspiring. It all began in 1911 with just 734 members (including Alexander Graham Bell). In the beginning, friendship and fellowship were what it was all about. Industry people recalling the facts, traditions, and memories of the early history of the telephone. But those who wrote the original Pioneers purpose were forward thinking in adding that it would also encourage "such other meritorious objects consistent with the foregoing as may be desirable." That became what would make the Pioneers different from other industry groups.

One of those "meritorious objects" translated into community service. Chapters, councils and clubs began their own initiatives, mostly working with childrens groups. By 1958, community service was established as the Pioneers' "New Tradition". Today, the organization is the world's largest group of industry-specific employees and retirees dedicated to community service. Pioneers volunteer more than 15 million hours annually responding to the individual needs of their communities.
