“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.”—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
At Road of Life, we recognize that our organization would not be where
it is today without the help of many dedicated volunteers who have
served us over the years. To honor and thank those who have committed
time to our mission, our newsletter will focus on the efforts of one
volunteer every month. This month, we have chosen Paula “Polly” Dix who
volunteers with our Communications Department.
Polly Dix certainly is great, and she has contributed much to Road of
Life. Ms. Dix brings a wealth of experience in public relations to the
organization. She has taught news-writing and public relations at The
Ohio State University, and most recently, she taught news-writing at
Capital University. Though she has spent much time in academia, she has
done tremendous work in public relations in other settings.
Ms. Dix began her career as the public relations assistant at the
Columbus Museum of Art. She also held positions with Columbus public
relations agencies and managed several public relations projects for
the State of Ohio.
As a valued volunteer at Road of Life, Ms. Dix has played an active
role in the planning of Road of Life’s Communication and Outreach Plan.
She has generously given of her time to help the organization formulate
a valid plan that will not only drive educators and school officials
toward Road of Life’s health education solutions but also encourage
donors to invest in quality health education for all children.
“Helping Road of Life with its communication plan is similar not only
to not-for-profit clients I had but also to courses that I taught at
Ohio State,” says Dix.
Ms. Dix also volunteers at Upper Arlington Library’s English
Conversation Classes, and the English Immersion program at Desert
Mountain High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. In her free time, she
enjoys reading, knitting, and playing golf.
When asked about why she enjoys volunteering at Road of Life Dix
responded: “The mission is important and I like in some small way
helping you achieve your goals.”
