Financial Secretary

As Financial Secretary for United Way of Winneshiek County, Erica Knutson plays a key role in managing the generous donations that support local organizations. By day, she works as a Credit Analyst at Decorah Bank & Trust, balancing her professional expertise with a strong commitment to community service.

Living in Southeast Minnesota, Erica wanted to get more involved in Winneshiek County, where she works. “I joined United Way to meet people and to help multiple organizations at once, making a big impact on the community,” she shares.

One of the most rewarding aspects of her role is witnessing the generosity of local donors. “It’s humbling to see how much people give, even with limited resources. Their support helps bridge funding gaps when grants don’t come through, ensuring vital services continue for those who need them.”
