The Alexis de Tocqueville Society was created by the United Way of America to recognize individuals who render outstanding voluntary service in their communities. The name was chosen because of Tocqueville's admiration for the spirit of voluntary association and voluntary effort for the common good, a spirit he observed in America and about which he wrote enthusiastically. Founded in the Capital Region in 1987, the Society is comprised of community leaders who provide gifts of at least $10,000 to the annual campaign of United Way of the Capital Region (UWCR).
