Meet Angie Dixon, a member of Rotary Passport since August of 2016. Given her job as the Executive Director for The First Tee of Greater Sacramento, she had the pleasure of speaking to many Rotary clubs in the district and always wished she had the time to join.  Then her friend, and fellow Passport Member, Scott Clark told her about Rotary Passport and she was sold.  It fit right into her busy schedule that includes, besides work, running around 3 teen age daughters who are fully invested in either sports or theater.  Angie shares their passions and is just as involved by sitting on the board of the soccer clubs, helping to produce children musicals at Rocklin Theater, or just being a parent volunteer for school.    

 

Angie's first love, however, is golf and she is currently the Executive Director for The First Tee of Greater Sacramento. She first started with the organization 33 years ago, but not as a staff member, as a participant. Angie was in the inaugural class of Little Linkers in 1983 and continued in the program throughout high school as a volunteer. She earned a full scholarship for golf to University of Washington and majored in Business. After college, she worked as a golf professional and volunteered with the program. In 2001, she was hired as a Program Manager and in 2011, became Executive Director bringing a wealth of experience from the program side to her role. Angie thoroughly enjoys working with The First Tee of Greater Sacramento and furthering its mission of making a positive difference in the lives of young people.
