She and her husband Bob have lived in Sunnyslope for 40 years. Their three sons attended Phoenix public schools and Arizona universities. Before her legislative career, Brophy McGee served nearly a decade on the Washington Elementary School Board, including four terms as president. As a legislator representing Sunnyslope and surrounding areas, she led key initiatives: establishing the Department of Child Safety, restoring Medicaid and KidsCare funding, extending Prop 301 for K-12 education, expanding small business health insurance access, and sponsoring “Jake’s Law” for behavioral health parity. In 2021, she was appointed to the Maricopa County Planning & Zoning Commission representing District 3. The following year, she was elected to the Board of the Maricopa County Special Health Care District (Valleywise Health). In 2024 voters elected her to represent Supervisorial District 3 on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. In early January 2026 the Supervisor was voted in as Chair of the Board by her peers and representing the entire Board of Supervisors through December 2026. Chair Brophy McGee consistently champions solutions that enhance her constituents’ quality of life.
In her acceptance speech she listed her priorities as Chair which include:

• Responsible transparent government
• Keep property taxes low
• Address eviction crisis
• Accessible treatment for the seriously mentally ill
• Election integrity and transparency

The Annual Outstanding Phoenix Youth Leader (OPYL) of the Year program is a partnership between Phoenix Rotary 100 and the City of Phoenix. This program recognizes and honors the outstanding achievements of young people, enhances the perception of youth, and raises community awareness of the positive contributions of youth.

Our own members helped throughout the judging process — both reading essays from entrants and serving as judges at the in-person panel interviews to determine this year's winners. High school students were selected as council district winners and will be recognized, along with the teacher who inspired them the most at the award luncheon during our Club meeting on Friday, May 1st.

Each of the district winners will receive a cash award. The two overall winners from the city's district winners will be announced and will receive an additional cash award during the luncheon!

Dave Wastchak "Spirit of Rotary" Award
This award honors past president Dave Wastchak's outstanding and spirited service to Phoenix Rotary 100. Dave epitomized Rotary's motto of “service above self” and was awarded the Rotary International Service Above Self Award in 1997 - one of 123 in the world at that time. In honor of his memory, the Club presents this annual award to a member with five years, or less, of service to the Club who best exemplifies the spirit of Rotary. You can find a nomination form, listing the eligible members for this award: HERE.

Tim Creedon "Quiet Confidence" Award
Tim Creedon, everyone's favorite Irishman, was a long-serving member of the Club, serving as president of both the Phoenix Rotary 100 and Tucson Rotary Clubs, district governor, and in 1998 was awarded the Rotary International Service Above Self Award, Rotary's highest honor. Tim was known for his dedicated volunteerism without expecting any recognition. Each year we honor his memory with the Tim Creedon "Quiet Confidence" Award. You can find a nomination form: HERE.

Please consider submitting a nomination for these honorable club awards by the deadline of May 1, 2026. The awards will be presented at the June 26 Presidential Induction meeting.
