She and her husband Bob have lived in Sunnyslope for 40 years. Their three sons attended Phoenix public schools and Arizona universities.

In early January 2026 the Supervisor was voted in as Chair of the Board by her peers and representing the entire Board of Supervisors through December 2026.

In her acceptance speech she listed her priorities as Chair which include:

• Responsible transparent government

Meeting Recap – PHX Rotary 100 | Outstanding Phoenix Youth Leader Awards

This week’s PHX 100 gathering was anything but a typical Friday meeting—it was a celebration of purpose, potential, and the incredible young leaders shaping the future of Phoenix.
Held at our former home, the Phoenix Country Club, the room was filled with energy, pride, and inspiration as we hosted the 40th Annual Outstanding Phoenix Youth Leader Awards—one of the most meaningful and anticipated traditions of our club.

Filling in for President Kathy Mitchell, Dave Howell welcomed guests and set the tone for the afternoon, followed by an inspiring message from Ron Broida, who reflected on Rotary’s roots and its enduring mission of Service Above Self—a theme that would echo throughout the entire program.
The event carried a celebratory and elevated feel from the start, with live music from the Trevor G. Browne High School Jazz Band and a warm welcome extended to the many students, families, educators, and community leaders in attendance. A special video message from City of Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego added to the significance of the day, recognizing the students’ achievements and encouraging them to continue shaping the future of our city.

Serving as our two MCs were last years impressive award recipients, a full-circle moment that beautifully reflected the long-term impact of this program. They guided us through a powerful lineup of student recognitions, beginning with individual district-level awards.
One by one, Phoenix City Council members and representatives were invited to the stage to present awards to standout students from their respective districts. Each introduction painted a vivid picture of leadership in action—highlighting achievements that ranged from academic excellence and scientific innovation to community service, advocacy, and entrepreneurship.
As each student crossed the stage, it became clear this was no ordinary group. These young leaders are:

• Founding nonprofits and leading statewide organizations
• Conducting advanced research and tackling real-world challenges
• Advocating for equity, mental health, and public policy
• Supporting their communities through service, mentorship, and resilience

The program was thoughtfully paced, allowing each story to shine while building a collective sense of pride in what these students have already accomplished—and what they are destined to do next.
Throughout the event, we also took time to recognize the educators, mentors, and families who have supported these students along the way, a powerful reminder that leadership is nurtured through community.
In another exciting highlight, all award recipients were presented with full scholarships to attend the Anytown Leadership Program, an experience designed to further develop their voices, confidence, and leadership impact.

Treasurer Evalyne Cambron closed the program with a heartfelt reflection, sharing how deeply moved she was by the vulnerability, courage, and authenticity of the students—many of whom are already using their voices in ways that create real change in their communities.
As the meeting concluded—our 5,446th gathering in the club’s 111-year history—it was clear that this event continues to stand as one of PHX 100’s most impactful traditions.
Because if there was ever a room that embodied the future of leadership…this was it.
