The Alexis de Tocqueville Society
The
Alexis de Tocqueville Society is a leadership recognition program
established by the United Way of America in 1972. It was founded in honor
of the French historian Alexis de Tocqueville who, in the early nineteenth
century, wrote about the American spirit of volunteerism.
"When
an American asks for the cooperation of their fellow citizens, it is
seldom refused; and I have often seen it afforded spontaneously, and with
great will."
-----
Alexis de Tocqueville, 1835
Because
Tocqueville recognized, applauded, and immortalized the voluntary spirit
that lives in America's heart, the Callaway County United Way honors those
who contribute $10,000 or more annually with membership in the Alexis de
Tocqueville Society.
Membership in the Tocqueville Society is an opportunity to affirm your leadership and commitment to this community. It unites a growing group of civic-minded individuals creating a powerful legacy to help shape Callaway County’s future. Your membership in this select group will encourage others to open themselves to the importance of the Callaway County United Way and its role in the community.
