Andrew Ansin Named To United Way Of Miami-Dade Board of Directors

Andrew Ansin, vice president of Sunbeam Properties, developer of the Miramar Park of Commerce, the largest locally owned and managed business park in South Florida, has been named to the United Way of Miami-Dade 2015-2016 Board of Directors.
The Ansin family has an inspiring tradition of support for United Way. Andrew’s father, Edmund Ansin, holds the unique distinction of receiving multiple Alexis de Tocqueville Awards for philanthropy in three different cities – Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Boston. Through gifts from The Ansin Foundation, the United Way buildings in both Miami-Dade and Broward County are named in honor of Andrew Ansin’s grandparents, Sidney and Sophie Ansin. In 1964, Sidney Ansin served as campaign chair of the Miami Community Chest, the predecessor to the United Way of Miami-Dade. Edmund and his brother, Ronald Ansin, former Massachusetts commerce commissioner, are also supporters of the United Way of Massachusetts Bay, where the Ansin family owns and operates the NBC and CW affiliates.
 

“I am very proud of the history our family has with United Way and I am honored to follow in our family’s footsteps,” said Andrew Ansin. “United Way is known for transforming lives through innovation, advocacy and engagement. I look forward to working with the board.”

United Way’s board is comprised of corporate and community leaders whose strategic decision-making and guidance furthers the organization’s mission of building community by helping people care for one another and ensures the highest levels of governance and stewardship.
