Sixty-three special Quotarians from around the world have been selected by their club or district to receive the We Share Foundation's 2002 Volunteer of the Year Award. Each club determined its own criteria for nominating an outstanding Quotarian for this special honor: some focused on Quota-related service achievements, while others celebrated a spirit of volunteerism that their winner shared throughout her community.

Here now are the We Share Foundation's Honor Roll of Volunteers—members, selected by their peers, who embody the true spirit of volunteerism that makes our world a better place. To learn more about each winner, please click on her name below.
