Sally Zive said she'll leave her position as president and CEO of United Way of Treasure Valley and start treatment for ovarian cancer in February.
"We're in the final stages of interviewing candidates for my position," said Zive, who became the organization's CEO in 1999. She will continue her association with the group, even if it's not as CEO, she said.
Wayne Rancourt, United Way board chairman, and senior vice president at Boise Cascade, credits Zive with refining the organization's focus on three areas of public need: education, income and health.
"We're looking for someone who will follow what Sally has started, identifying the big issues in the community, making the most efficient use of donations and volunteer time, and getting the right people to the table," Rancourt said.
Just this spring, United Way announced a record fundraising total of $5.9 million through its Community Campaign, a 9 percent increase over last year.
Zive replaced Carla Everhart in 1999. Zive had been Canyon County area director for the organization beginning in 1995.
She was first diagnosed with cancer in 2001. She had a recurrence in 2008 and again in 2009.
