Oral Suer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oral Suer was the CEO of the United Way in the Washington, DC Area from 1974 to 2002. A career United Way executive, Suer helped local community leaders create United Way of the National Capital Area (UWNCA) from two predecessor organizations that were on the verge of bankruptcy when he arrived in 1974. During his tenure, UWNCA raised over $1 billion for local charities.
In 2002 he was charged of defrauding his organization of several hundred thousand dollars through misuse of leave salary, misreporting expenses such as billing private travel to his company and drawing retirement benefits from the UNWCA retirement fund while he was still working there.
In May 2004, he was convicted and sentenced to 27 months in jail.
