Myers Earns Presidential Honor Deborah Myers ’74 has been honored with the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award, the nation’s highest civilian recognition for volunteer service. Myers received the prestigious award during a special ceremony in New York City in June 2024. Since graduating from Simpson with a degree in sociology and social justice, Myers has embarked on a life of service. She first worked as a probation officer and mediator, creating programs for at-risk youth. But a 1993 car accident changed Myers’ path, leading her to explore acupressure and the healing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu. She became certified and launched Deborah Myers Wellness in 1995. Myers’ signature nine-step self-care routine, the Daily Clean Your House Flow®, is now used by schools and organizations across the country, including the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Her work empowers individuals, especially youth, to manage stress and boost well-being through simple, daily techniques. She continues to lead wellness programs from her home in Sonoma County, California. “I couldn’t have done it all without the environment Simpson created,” she said. “I couldn’t have begun that way of belief.”
