SONOMA
COUNTY, Calif., July 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- For her decades of volunteer work to help kids and
adults adopt healthy behaviors, California acupressure
practitioner Deborah Myers has been
recognized with the President's Lifetime Achievement Award.
"I'm overwhelmed with gratitude by this honor," shares Deborah.
"The award event was incredibly exciting and at the same time very
humbling."
The President's Lifetime Achievement Award is the most
prestigious, highest civil volunteerism award to honor those who
have continually poured out thousands of hours of volunteer service
in this country. It honors individuals whose service positively
impacts communities in every corner of the nation and inspires
those around them to take action, too.
After learning about Deborah's years of commitment to serving
others, the team at Top Talent Agency nominated her for this
prestigious recognition. That nomination was then vetted and awards
presented by Operation Impact to Deborah and an elite group of
worthy recipients at a New York
City gala event on June
22.
Being recognized for her community service, Deborah has worked
with and on behalf of youth for decades. Her involvement stems from
her early career as a probation officer where she created a group
program to improve behavioral outcomes; and while working as a
mediator for the Denver Center for Dispute Resolution, she
contributed to a community organization's program to get kids off
the streets and back into their homes.
Since becoming a Certified Acupressurist in the 1990s, she's
been devoted to support students, their parents, and educators. In
her work she focuses on helping kids and adults to have better
relationships with their bodies to experience a more vibrant life –
mentally, emotionally, and physically. This alternative medicine
approach is accessible to anybody.
As an author, speaker, and wellness practitioner, Deborah Myers has received numerous awards and
recognition for making a difference, and been involved in various
service endeavors including as an instructor with Humanity's Team,
a global consciousness-education non-profit organization. Several
after school programs and youth groups like the Boys and Girls Club
also benefit from Deborah's dedication to support kids and their
families.
"My passion is to help kids and youth be empowered to see their
own potential through easy, daily self-care activities," explains
Deborah. "I never expected this type of recognition on such a grand
scale."
