Rush, 68, says he plans to stay in Springfield and has no intentions of taking up another job.
A farewell celebration in Rush’s honor was held last Thursday at Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce.
“It’s been great,” Rush said. “I’ve been here 20 years, and it’s been a very good experience for me.”
During Rush’s tenure, United Way’s annual fundraising totals exceeded $3 million annually, making it the largest volunteer organization in the area, according to a news release.
Rush said his replacement has been determined but declined to name the person until United Way makes an announcement soon.[[In-content Ad]]
