On Thursday, September 06, 2012 Lamb McErlane Managing Partner Joel L. Frank and Paula Smith, Lamb McErlane’s Billing Coordinator, accepted the United Way of Chester County, New Corporate Partner of the Year award on behalf of the firm. The event, held at Exton Mall, was the 2012 United Way Campaign Kickoff Celebration where some of the noteworthy participants from the 2011 campaign were recognized.

The New Corporate Partner of the Year award that Lamb McErlane received was new this year because it isn’t often that you see a company accomplish this high a level of participation in just the first year according to Christopher P. Saello, Vice President, Resource Development, United Way of Chester County. “Lamb McErlane had an outstanding first year for us”, added Saello, “When we reached out to Lamb McErlane last year to ask for their support, they jumped in with both feet. Everyone got involved, especially the leadership and they more than doubled their first year campaign goal. Any company that can get 75% participation in their first year is fine by me.  We appreciate their incredible support and look forward to great things from this partnership.”
