TNRPCV is headed to TSU’s Agricultural Career Fair! The Fair is tomorrow. If you know anyone at TSU who would like to learn about the Peace Corps, let them know that a TNRPCVer will be there tomorrow to share information about the Peace Corps!
NPCA invites you all to Boston, Massachusetts on the weekend of June 28-29, 2013 for an event that will encourage you to continue “bringing the world back home” while visiting with friends and having fun. Since this is for the Peace Corps community, key elements of this event will be highly interactive and incorporate career networking and knowledge-sharing. By bringing our collective experiences together can support each other and help to solve important development challenges.
Our TNRPCV, Angie Harris, is on the slate to represent the Southern Tier for the NPCA Board. Are you a member of NPCA? Sign up! Vote here!
A message from our nominee…
“I am running for the NPCA Southern Tier Board position, one year term. When the TNRPCVs nominated me, I didn’t realize that I would be campaigning, and now here I am .
I know that I have the passion and experience to serve the board well, but I ask for your help to be elected.
If I were elected, I would strive to represent the Southern Tier at the national level to ensure groups’ ideas and opinions to influence the direction of NPCA. I would work towards bringing the Southern Tier groups together to leverage our resources in order to make our RPCV groups stronger and well-connected. And I especially will continue to work to increase the Southern Tier’s advocacy efforts in the key issues facing the Peace Corps.
I welcome any questions you may have. And I respectfully ask for your vote!
