RPCV/W Awarded the 2012 Loret Miller Ruppe Award for Outstanding Community Service

Tuesday, June 19, 2012 2:18 PM | Chris Robinson (Administrator)

The Ruppe Award is presented by the NPCA to an outstanding member group for a project or projects that promote the Third Goal of Peace Corps or continue to serve host countries, build group spirit and cooperation, and promote service. The purpose of the award is not only to recognize the great work that NPCA’s groups are doing, but also to generate ideas that other groups may emulate in their communities.

Named for the legendary 10th Director of the Peace Corps who fought for a well-equipped, independent agency, the Ruppe Award will be presented to RPCV/W Outreach Director Laara Manler at the NPCA’s Annual Gathering in Minneapolis on June 30.

RPCV/W is very proud to receive this distinction and will continue to offer more events to its members and engage in more service projects with its community partners. An engaged, active membership is the key to our success. We encourage our members to vote for the next Board and look forward to another productive year.
