Spring 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the formation of Upic Solutions as a stand-alone 501 c 3 non-profit technology organization owned and managed by United Ways. Over the next several podcast episodes, we will be interviewing some of the founding members of the original organization.
In today’s episode, we will interview Rob Reifsnyder, President and CEO of the United Way of Greater Cincinnati (UWGC). During Upic’s formative days, Rob was the CEO of Metro United Way (MUW) in Louisville, KY. During the late 1990’s, Metro United Way participated in a series of regional meetings to explore shared technology resources.

In addition, Metro United Way piloted the remote hosting service known as Upic Virtual Office back in 2004.
