The amazing Carolyn Jones graduated from Stanford University with distinction and received her LL.B. from Yale Law School. She practiced law for 31 years; was an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Alaska Attorney General’s Office for 23 years, and a supervising attorney in that office until her retirement in 1998.

Carolyn joined the Rotary Club of Anchorage East in 1987. And was Rotary lucky. Apart from being one of the first women in Rotary, she was the governor of Rotary International District 5010 from 1997-1998. She completed a four-year term in 2009 as Rotary’s first female Trustee on the Board of Directors of The Rotary Foundation. Carolyn’s numerous Rotary activities have given her many honors and recognition for her humanitarian work.

You’ll hear why Carolyn traveled to Russia 35 times in her service to Rotary – five of those trips as a Rotary Volunteer.  Her story “The Children of Russia” was published in the July 2002 issue of the Rotarian and in “Chicken Soup For The Volunteers’ Soul.”

Carolyn is an inspiring role model for Rotary’s Service Above Self and the Rotarian 4 Way Test.
