Our Celebration of Service Event is coming up on May 30th!  This event is to honor outstanding individuals and organizations because of their commitment to our community.

The outstanding volunteer of the year is an enthusiastic champion who shows commitment to our community and United Way of Salt Lake’s mission through extraordinary volunteer service. It is with great appreciation that United Way of Salt Lake honors Paula Green Johnson as the 2012 Outstanding Volunteer of the Year.

Paula is an amazing supporter of United Way of Salt Lake and of our work.  She chaired the WPN for more than two years, has continued to be a very active member of the WPN Executive Council, and is a member of the Women for Educational Achievement Subcommittee of the WPN.  She agreed to accept a position, representing UWSL, on United Way Worldwide’s National Women’s Leadership Council, where she is one of only 15 women from around the country. She is currently the vice-chair of our Public Policy Committee.  She is a member of the Changing the Odds Steering Committee.  She and her husband, Peter, are members of the Tocqueville Society.  She also opens her home regularly for UWSL events.

Congratulations to Paula and we thank her for being a community advocate, a voice for change, and an outstanding volunteer! 

Paula consistently LIVES UNITED!
