The Women of the Year Award recognizes women who've made an
impact in largely male-dominated industries including government,
education, healthcare, nonprofits, and technology. 2022 winners are
honored for their vision: their ability to see a path forward where
others might not and forging new opportunities for women in the
workforce.
"This award means so much to me and I am honored to be
recognized alongside all these amazing women," says Michelle. "The
at-risk students in our community are full of grit and character,
and it's an honor to support and nourish them as they navigate
their challenges and tackle their hardships. Utah truly is a giving community and I'm
humbled daily by the generous donors, selfless volunteers, and
amazing school staff who we rely on to make this program work. I am
so grateful to make an impact and help other women along the
way."
Michelle has a lifelong passion for helping others. And when the
USANA Foundation acquired Kids Eat in December of 2019, she was
welcomed with open arms.
"With Michelle guiding USANA Kids Eat, we knew she would magnify
this program to continue to make a huge difference in the lives of
kids in Utah," says Brian Paul, president of the USANA Foundation.
"We are so lucky to have Michelle on our team. I can't think of
anyone more deserving of this award."
The USANA Kids Eat Program feeds local students who are food
insufficient at home. It provides secure and safe food sources
to at-risk children, raises public awareness, and generates
resources and revenue through local campaigns and volunteer
opportunities. Working to involve and connect the community, this
program is USANA driven and community supported, creating even more
resources for local kids. In 2021, USANA Kids Eat filled
