United Way of Olmsted County’s Women’s Leadership Council will host the annual presentation of the Maude Finch Awards on Wednesday, November 14 at 6 p.m. at the Canadian Honker Events at the Ramada, 1517 16th St SW. The 2012 award honorees are Susan Ahlquist and Michon Rogers, First Alliance Credit Union and the Rochesterfest Board. Each award winner has distinguished themselves in advancing the common good with their service, volunteerism, and leadership.
The award is named after Maude Finch the recording secretary of the Rochester Community Chest, who, when paid $20 for her clerical services in 1925, donated those proceeds back to the organization for the common good.
Susan Ahlquist and Michon Rogers will each be honored for their significant contributions of community service, volunteerism, advocacy work and leadership.
Susan has distinguished herself in community building, volunteering and mentoring. She has actively been involved in efforts to improve early childhood learning, advocating for educational opportunities, and helping others advance in their leadership skills. Susan leads by example as she works to improve the lives of individuals and community.
Michon has an active role in our community’s civic life. She has been committed to meeting the needs of people with her volunteerism by serving several organizations in the areas of education and social services. She actively advocates for improved education and neighborhoods and is a role model of community service.
First Alliance Credit Union has distinguished itself in social responsibility by being an active community partner not only donating financially but engaging in volunteerism and service. Through their community action committee, they create year-long partnerships with community organizations where all staff contributes volunteer hours. Additionally, their employees participate in collections, active support and service helping a variety of organizations and programs.
The Rochesterfest Board, comprised of 26 volunteers and four ex-officio members, has advanced the common good for the past 30 years by providing a community wide event encouraging involvement, recognition and celebration of community. Thousands of families annually participate throughout the week-long celebration. Activities and events provide free and low-cost entertainment for families and help to highlight various community organizations and their service in our community.
