Paula Golden
• EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BROADCOM FOUNDATION, AND DIRECTOR, BROADCOM COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
Age: “Over 30”
Status: Married to George Calkins; four children, Brigham, Bethany, Carl and Kara; and five grandchildren, Chance, Kaya, Jack, Lazar and Zella
Up, up and away: Golden’s passion for ballooning has motivated her to take to the air throughout the U.S. and in exotic regions such as the Ancient City of Bagan in Myanmar and Cappadocia in western Turkey.
Why Golden loves her job: “Broadcom’s success is due to its dedication to STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] education and innovation. My lucky task is to help inspire the next generation to engage in both.”
High school science club or cheerleader? Paula was president of the Glee Club and had lead roles in her high school as an actor and singer.
At a time when nonprofits are competing for contributions, Broadcom Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Irvine-based chipmaker, has $50 million to put toward advancing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. Executive director Paula Golden, who helped launch the nonprofit this year, announced that the Broadcom Foundation had committed $6 million over six years to sponsor the Broadcom MASTERS, a national science and engineering competition for middle-school students that culminates in a weeklong competition in Washington, D.C.
In addition, the foundation solicits applications from April 30 to June 30 each year to fund various STEM-related and community projects around the globe, and Broadcom employees can engage as volunteers. Broadcom Foundation’s STEM program aims to encourage students to integrate science, technology, engineering and mathematics into their long-term education. In its first cycle, the foundation processed more than 200 applications.
Golden, who also serves as Broadcom’s community affairs director, is a former educator and attorney who specializes in nonprofit work.
