In Arizona, generosity is more than a value; it is a way of life. From boardrooms to classrooms, ballfields to board service, countless individuals quietly give their time, talent, and resources to strengthen the communities they call home. This Mission Monday column shines a light on those difference-makers. Each week, we spotlight a philanthropic leader or volunteer whose passion for service is creating real, lasting impact across the state. Through their stories, we explore the “why” behind their giving, the mission that fuels their commitment, and the nonprofit organizations working tirelessly to serve Arizona’s most pressing needs.
Today, we welcome Ben Meadows, a senior roofing consultant at SUNVEK Roofing, who serves on the board of directors for Axiom Community of Recovery.
What inspired you to get involved with this organization, and why has its mission remained important to you?
This is very personal for me. I have been in recovery for more than 20 years, so volunteering time to an organization focused on helping others along on that journey really resonates with me. I got introduced to Axiom Community of Recovery a few years ago through a friend who knew Axiom Care founder Vern Johnson.
