About Paula Cullison
Keynote Speaker
Paula (Giangreco) Cullison is a long time women’s rights, peace and social justice advocate.
As President of Women in Management (for then Mountain Bell / US West), she created a major project titled – The Year for All Arizona Women which featured over 100 events throughout the state and gained the support of Governor Bruce Babbitt, over 60 Mayors, Tribal Leaders, County and other officials.
Appointed by then Mayor Terry Goddard, she served on the Phoenix Women’s Commission for three years.
Paula presented at the United Nations Conference on Women in Kenya – How to Create A Year for ALL Women in your country or City. Prior to attending the UN Environmental Conference in Brazil, she created an event in Phoenix on Eco-Feminism: Polotics of the Environment which featured Bella Abzug, the late US Congresswoman from NY.
In the 1990s concerned about the lack of recognition of Women’s Rights Day (Aug 26th), she petitioned American Greetings to issue a free e-card which continues to be available. Gloria Feldt notes Paula’s tenacity in her book, No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power.
In 2002 she created The Arizona Women’s Partnership, an all volunteer philanthropic non-profit, to award grants to grass roots charities that assist under-served women and children at risk here in AZ. Over $380,000 has been awarded to date.
Three years ago, Paula created the 95th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment event which featured Mary Schroeder, Justice of the Ninth Appellate Court.
Paula, a long time ERA advocate, spoke at the recent rally at the Senate Capitol.
She has been at both Women’s Marches and a huge number of demonstrations.
She has traveled extensively and has been exhibiting her international photography, primarily at local college and university campus libraries. Paula hopes that these exhibits will encourage students and faculty to think globally.
Daughter of Italian immigrants and native New Yorker, Paula has lived in Phoenix since 1974. She is a graduate of City University of NY – Baruch College. Her AIESEC traineeship to Switzerland was sponsored by Columbia University.
Paula is the recipient of the Children and Family Resources Lifetime Achievement Award, Susan B Anthony Award, Macy*s Heart and Soul Award, National Bank of Arizona Amazing Woman Award.
