Janis Lindley grew up in a large family in Cache Valley, Utah.  Her father’s job with US-AID also afforded her family the opportunity to live in Bolivia for several years. During this time Janis was able to learn from people of many different ethnicities and religious backgrounds, which helped her to come “to appreciate and love people of all walks of life.” She has also lived in China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia with her husband and eight children. Janis and her husband Corey have blessed many lives around the world with the humanitarian service they have been involved in. Janis desires to be a lifelong learner and feels strongly about the importance of women having the opportunity to receive an education. She received the Rainmaker Award in 2017 for her service with the Utah Valley University Women’s Success Center and has served as the Scholarship Committee Chair of that center. Janis is also passionate about serving with the Hope for Orem team which is helping to raise awareness for suicide prevention.
