The Changemakers

A longtime supporter of United Way, Sheela Murthy is the chair of the 2025–2026 Tocqueville Society. Championing the organization locally and globally for more than 20 years, Sheela is an enthusiastic and passionate supporter of United Way’s work in Northeast Florida. In the past, she has guided initiatives ranging from chairing Women United in Central Maryland to global efforts that helped launch three United Ways in India. She’s also been part of United Way of Central Maryland’s Million Dollar Roundtable — becoming its first female member and bringing her trademark generosity and enthusiasm to the group.
After moving to Jacksonville over two years ago, Sheela has already become deeply involved in helping build a stronger Northeast Florida. She’s excited to continue deepening her roots here and to welcome new Tocqueville Society members into this passionate community.
