Dear Members:
I am writing to call your attention to the upcoming elections for the NPCA Board of Directors. All nine elected Board positions are now open for nomination until April 15. The new regions which were recently approved by the Board take effect with these nominations. Enclosed with this letter you will find the nomination packet.
NPCA bylaws stipulate the schedule for elections based on the Annual General Meeting (AGM) which this year will be held July 29 and 30 in Washington, DC. Candidates are nominated by the groups as a whole or by petition with ten signatures. Board members must be returned Peace Corps volunteers or former staff and members of NPCA. The length of terms are for one, two or three years as we phase in the nine elected representatives. The actual length of terms by region is being finalized and will be known in early March. Voting will take place in May and results will be announced by June 30.
Please download and distribute the attached forms as necessary and please consider nominating candidates. In order for a group to be eligible to nominate, their affiliation (fees and paperwork) must be current and complete.
If you have any questions or need additional information contact Matt Marek at operations@rpcv.org or 202.293.7728 x20.
Sincerely,
Kevin Quigley
President
When this story was posted in February 2005, this was on the front page of PCOL:
| The Peace Corps Library Peace Corps Online is proud to announce that the Peace Corps Library is now available online. With over 30,000 index entries in over 500 categories, this is the largest collection of Peace Corps related reference material in the world. From Acting to Zucchini, you can use the Main Index to find hundreds of stories about RPCVs who have your same interests, who served in your Country of Service, or who serve in your state. |
| WWII participants became RPCVs Read about two RPCVs who participated in World War II in very different ways long before there was a Peace Corps. Retired Rear Adm. Francis J. Thomas (RPCV Fiji), a decorated hero of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, died Friday, Jan. 21, 2005 at 100. Mary Smeltzer (RPCV Botswana), 89, followed her Japanese students into WWII internment camps. We honor both RPCVs for their service. |
| Bush's FY06 Budget for the Peace Corps The White House is proposing $345 Million for the Peace Corps for FY06 - a $27.7 Million (8.7%) increase that would allow at least two new posts and maintain the existing number of volunteers at approximately 7,700. Bush's 2002 proposal to double the Peace Corps to 14,000 volunteers appears to have been forgotten. The proposed budget still needs to be approved by Congress. |
| RPCVs mobilize support for Countries of Service RPCV Groups mobilize to support their Countries of Service. Over 200 RPCVS have already applied to the Crisis Corps to provide Tsunami Recovery aid, RPCVs have written a letter urging President Bush and Congress to aid Democracy in Ukraine, and RPCVs are writing NBC about a recent episode of the "West Wing" and asking them to get their facts right about Turkey. |
| Ask Not As our country prepares for the inauguration of a President, we remember one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century and how his words inspired us. "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." |
| Latest: RPCVs and Peace Corps provide aid Peace Corps made an appeal last week to all Thailand RPCV's to consider serving again through the Crisis Corps and more than 30 RPCVs have responded so far. RPCVs: Read what an RPCV-led NGO is doing about the crisis an how one RPCV is headed for Sri Lanka to help a nation he grew to love. Question: Is Crisis Corps going to send RPCVs to India, Indonesia and nine other countries that need help? |

You will become part of the problem joining this organization. When a volunteer has a safety or legal issue with the agency, the NPCA says oh well, that's how it goes. You win some you lose some. OH well,!!!
They turn the other cheek. We (the NPCA) are advocating for the corruption in zimbabwe or we have to contribute to our communities after service. But standing up for a colleague who has been wronged or been blamed for being missing or raped or assaulted. They will look at you on the Washington streets and walk away. They have to worry about upward mobility and their place. Discrimination is happening in these cases and Kevin Quiqley knows it. He should be speaking out for better rights for former volunteers who have gone through these issues, he should be challenging Peace Corps. Stop "pussy footing around" with Charles Smith.
Don't join the corruption club which is about whispering about a volunteer's problem, young women's rape and this guys incident. They don't get jobs after these type of wrongful stigmas are put on them, they don't move up because of discrimination.
Kevin Quigley you are corrupt and a wierdo, if you don't really speak out. Someday you will meet us face to face and it won't be pretty I can tell you.
At the moment,Kevin Quiqley defends rapists, Defends terrorists and others while volunteers get discriminated against. Are you with the perpetrators of crime Kevin or are with Charles Smith and Vasquez and all the sycophants who go along with the whole corrupt package. 2,800 former volunteers.
Nothing
Nada
Ridiculous,
Don't join in Protest.
