This Award is not voted on, it was designed to be at the sole discretion of the VOS President, and they can award it or not. Michelle Walker is the second recipient of this award for the passion she has shown in the suicide prevention movement that began in earnest right here in Phoenix just over a year ago. Michelle was deeply involved with our Suicide Prevention Summit, and has gone on to lead and help plan many other Summits around the country. When National CFMA established the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention, Michelle accepted the daunting task of chairing this group of well-meaning people who admittedly are trying to build a road with no specifications, and not even a road map to know where they should end up! Her passion and leadership have served her and the team very well. Show less
