Ann Lee Hussey makes Special Presentation
Ann Lee Hussey - polio survivor, Rotarian, warrior in the worldwide battle against polio and renown speaker visited Augusta for a special presentation at UMA's Jewett Hall Auditorium July 26.
Ann Lee Hussey joined Rotary in April 2002 and immediately became involved. She has traveled twice to Venezuela on Rotaplast trips to assist children receiving surgeries for cleft lip and cleft palate. But her real mark has been her travel to India, Egypt, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Chad to work on Rotary National Immunization Volunteer teams. She has participated in 20 NID (National Inoculation Day) campaigns immunizing children against polio. For the last 5 years she has organized and led her own NID polio immunizing teams.
As a polio survivor, Ann Lee has a passion for the polio eradication program and shares Rotary International’s vision for a polio free world. She is a believer in the peace building effects our Polio Program has established and the strong base created for all future RI program endeavors. This is evident in the succeeding MG projects that develop from these volunteer trips.
She strongly believes one person can make a difference and that it is a privilege and a gift to do the work of Rotary.
At the Club level Ann Lee served in many capacities and as Club President for 2005-2006. For District 7780 she has served as District Conference Committee Chair, District Polio Plus Chair and as World Community Service Chair. Ann Lee is a member of the Casco Bay Rotary Club in the Portland area, recently completed three terms as a Trustee on the Board of York Hospital and currently serves on the Board of Port Resources, dedicated to empowering people with developmental disabilities to live rich and fulfilling lives in their communities.
In May 2005 she received Rotary’s highest honor for individual Rotarians, the Service Above Self award and in June 2006 she received the Rotary Foundation International Service Award for a Polio Free World.
She has shared her story and passion for polio eradication throughout the United States and around the world, at numerous District Conferences, Zone Institutes, PETS, Foundation Seminars and club meetings, including the RIBI Conference in 2010, International Institute in Salt Lake City, the Presidential Peace Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, and at the LA Convention.
