ORANGE COUNTY UNITED WAY WELCOMES JAMES SCHEINKMAN TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ORANGE COUNTY (July 19, 2017) – Snell & Wilmer is pleased to announce that James Scheinkman, a partner in the firm’s Orange County and Los Angeles offices, has been elected to the board of directors for Orange County United Way, a non-profit organization that has been working to improve lives and strengthen the community by focusing on the building blocks for a good quality of life: education, income, health and housing. Scheinkman began his three year term on June 27, 2017. Orange County United Way was established in 1984 through the merger of seventeen local, independent United Ways entities. In 2014, they launched “FACE 2024”, a 10-year collaborative, communitywide action plan to change the future for the next generation of residents. The plan calls to mobilize local businesses, community organizations, governmental agencies and individuals to make a long-term measurable difference in the lives of local individuals and families. The Snell & Wilmer Orange County office participates in an annual week-long fundraising event campaign encouraging the participation of all staff. This year’s campaign raised over $36,000 in support of United Way. James Scheinkman
