“In honor of Women's History Month, I recognize a dedicated public servant from Nebraska. Sara Woods' contributions to our community as an educator, volunteer, and leader serve as a model for current and future generations across our Nation. Mrs. Woods has lived a life of service and inspiration impacting the community with her dedication. Throughout her educational career, she has encouraged her students to be engaged learners. Sara was crucial in the creation of many service organizations whose purpose is to equip, train, and encourage young leaders to serve their communities. She currently serves on the boards of several nonprofits in Omaha and works to improve conditions for youth, women, and the homeless. In recognition of her service, she received the University of Nebraska Omaha Chancellor's Award in 2005 and the YWCA Women of Distinction award in 2009. Sara now oversees the operation of the Barbara Weitz Community Engagement Center. She was involved in the creation and development of this institute, which works to combine great ideas and organizations with the boundless energy of the University of Nebraska Omaha campus. Mrs. Woods has helped cultivate the same passion for service in others and fostered stronger bonds within our community and beyond. We would do well to adopt her inspiring passion for public service. ____________________”
