Vicki Puliz - District Governor Nominee - Rotary District 5190 (2011-2012)

District Governor Nominee Vicki PulizVicki is a native Nevadan, raised on working cattle ranches north of Reno and attending public school in Reno. After high school, Vicki attended the University of Utah in Salt Lake City where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Marketing, ranked at the top of her class, and a Masters of Business Administration before returning to Reno.

Vicki's career started as a commercial lighting representative, then to the electrical wholesale business and finally to Electro-Tech, Inc. as a one third owner. Electro-Tech grew to become a successful and respected electrical contractor operating out of its main office in Sparks, Nevada. Vicki was very involved in construction industry organizations such as Associated Builders and Contractors and Construction Financial Management Association, as well as serving on the board of the Better Business Bureau.

Joining Sparks Rotary in 1992 as the first female member of the club, Vicki enjoyed the association with business and community leaders and making a positive difference in the community. Raising two young children, along with major responsibilities of a challenging business left little time of extra activities, but the fellowship and positive interactions of the weekly meetings encouraged Vicki to continue the Rotary journey.

After 15 years of operating Electro-Tech, Vicki and her partners crafted a buy-sell agreement with IES, a publically traded company. This afforded Vicki the opportunity to retire and spend more time with growing children. Vicki became very involved with Mountain View Montessori School during this time, as well as with other youth sports activities and school groups.

Vicki served as president of Sparks Rotary in 2004-2005, the Centennial Year of Rotary, and helped charter Sparks Centennial Sunrise Rotary club.

Completing her year as club president, Vicki was recruited by Joe Donohue to work with him to assume responsibility for the District 5180/5190 RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) program. Joe and Vicki served as camp directors for RYLA during the inaugural year at Grizzly Creek Ranch.

In addition to the RYLA program, Vicki also became involved in the District Rotary Youth Exchange program as daughter, Kate, prepared for a year abroad in Chile in 2007.

Vicki currently serves as District Chair for Youth Services/New Generations Service from 2009 through 2012, working with programs in our District for people under the age of 30, including Rotaract, RYLA, Interact and RYE.

Along with Joe Donohue and Tina Spencer, Vicki helped create the successful 8th grade program of high quality leadership training with a strong emphasis on ethics known as Rotary Middle School Leadership, which has expanded from Sparks, to virtually all of the Washoe County School District and to rural communities of Fernley and Yerington. The RMSL program is now extending to other communities in our District, including the Nevada County and Auburn area because of the significant positive impact on young people at a critical point in their life.

Vicki and her husband Tim are blessed with a blended family of 7 children and 3 grandchildren, with 2 more grandchildren on the way: Kyle (Wendi) Archuleta, Adam Puliz, Ryan Puliz, TJ (Leah) Puliz, Amy (Scott) Jordan, J.D. Peters, and Kate Peters. Two of their children, Amy Jordan of Camarillo, California and Ryan Puliz of Reno, Nevada, are Rotarians.

Additional members of the family are three Rotary exchange daughters: Camila Rubino of Araraquara, Brazil; Andrea Aviles Ibarra of Yucatan, Mexico; and Bernardita Reyes of Santiago, Chile.

In February 2009, Tim and Vicki joined other Rotarians from around the world to participate in a "hands-on way" with a National Immunization Day campaign in India to eradicate polio.

Vicki is a member of the Paul Harris Society since 2005 and Tim and Vicki are Major Donors to the Rotary Foundation.
