Rachel Peterson
Recruitment Specialist, West Plains Admissions
Rachel Peterson’s energy and upbeat attitude are evident whether she is at work or volunteering. Among numerous volunteer efforts, this Spotlight focuses on Rachel’s service role as board member of the Boys and Girls Club of the Greater West Plains area. In 2009, a group of community leaders came together to raise the funds for a local Boys and Girls Club to provide a safe, fun and positive environment for children. Rachel joined the board in spring 2012 just as the group started to move full steam ahead to make the dream a reality, with the club officially opening in May 2013. Coordinating volunteers and fundraisers through food and arts and crafts drives are just some of the activities that are always needed to keep the BGC up and running. It’s been stated that, “whenever help is needed, Rachel is there!”
For her dedication to engaging and helping children in the West Plains community, we are happy to recognize Rachel as December’s Public Affairs Staff Spotlight.
