OVERLAND PARK, Kan., October 3 2023 /3BL/ – Black & Veatch Chairman and CEO Mario Azar has been named to United Way of Greater Kansas City’s governing board of trustees.

Azar’s appointment furthers the longstanding collaboration with United Way by Black & Veatch, which in recent decades has contributed more than $28 million to the charitable aggregator.

“For more than a century, our company has focused as a critical infrastructure solutions provider on building a world of difference, and that begins with giving back to the communities in which we live and work,” said Azar, who also serves on United Way’s governance committee. “United Way is fundamental to uplifting those in need by supporting thousands of community groups through the power of the collective, and that aligns with our culture of compassion.”

“Black & Veatch has a long tradition of consistently being among our most philanthropic corporate partners, and we are delighted to have this strong representation continue with the addition of Mario Azar to our board of trustees,” said Chris Rosson, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Kansas. “We are excited about the leadership he’ll bring to our team and look forward to creating even more impact, together.”
