VISTA of the Year!

We'd like to congratulate Brian Wayment on his award of Utah VISTA of the Year 2010! Brian's VISTA assignments have focused on volunteer promotion and recruitment for the United Way of Utah County Volunteer Center. He has established a system for volunteers to expand the volunteer center's capacity, and he promotes community resources for the center through visits around the country. As a VISTA Leader, Brian supports his fellow VISTAs by going on annual site visits, coordinating trainings and sending out a monthly VISTA project newsletter.

In addition to the volunteer center, Brian has organized and coordinated the Utah County Angel Tree program for the past two years. He spent countless hours volunteering during two holiday seasons so that 5,808 children of low-income families in Utah County received Christmas gifts. Brian's dedication to volunteerism is obvious as he also coordinates the United Way of Utah County's Meals-on-Wheels volunteer route and also regularly volunteers for the programs.

Thank you for your work and congratulations Brian!
