Twelve New Country Directors Sworn In to Serve
WASHINGTON, D.C., February 4, 2005 – Twelve new country directors took office today, after completing their month-long training at Peace Corps headquarters. Many of the newly sworn in country directors are new, some are returning to the Peace Corps, and four are being promoted from within the agency. The new country directors will be going to countries throughout the Peace Corps’ three regions: the Africa Region, the Europe, Mediterranean, and Asia Region (EMA), and the Inter-America and Pacific Region (IAP).
Peace Corps country directors are responsible for management and direction of all aspects of the Peace Corps program in their country of assignment. The country directors support volunteers in the field. They lend their skills and energy to meet development needs and to promote a better understanding between the host country people and Americans.
The new country director assignments are as follows:
Micronesia – David Reside
Previously the Country Director of Moldova, David Reside now will serve as Country Director of Micronesia. Reside’s service with the Peace Corps is extensive and began with his volunteer service in Zaire from 1981-1983, as a Fish Culture Extension Agent. From there, Reside worked on fishing boats off the Alaska coast. He received a master’s in aquaculture from Auburn University. His career took an international focus when he spent time in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Bangladesh working on several long-term projects. Reside returned to work with the Peace Corps by leading the Stateside Fisheries Training program at the University of Mississippi and later at the University of South Carolina. Reside worked with refugees in Sierra Leone and Liberia before he returned to the Peace Corps as an Associate Peace Corps Director with the Russia Far East Program and as the Programming and Training Officer in Moldova. Reside received his bachelor’s degree of science in aquatic ecology from the University of Illinois and his master’s degree in business administration from Thunderbird, the Garvin School of International Management. David and his wife, Alison, have two daughters, Sarah and Anya.

| 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? |
| The World's Broken Promise to our Children Former Director Carol Bellamy, now head of Unicef, says that the appalling conditions endured today by half the world's children speak to a broken promise. Too many governments are doing worse than neglecting children -- they are making deliberate, informed choices that hurt children. Read her op-ed and Unicef's report on the State of the World's Children 2005. |

I served as APCD for Administration in Micronesia in the mid 80's. I am trying to contact the most recently returned Country Director. He and his wife stopped at our yard sale in Silver Spring, Maryland, and gave us his phone number. But, it was misplaced. If anyone can get a message to him, please ask him to call Bob and Jennifer McCleery. Our cell phone number is 240-893-1413.
