5. Rose (Sestina) Gallagher –Bd.
Secretary
“Being the RPA Board Secretary has been a
rich and rewarding experience. I'm now
comfortable and experienced using
computer technology, participating in a group
setting, and learning to work well with
others. I've enjoyed seeing experienced
practitioners in action, receiving their help
and support, and having the satisfaction that
comes from working in coherent groups of
people for a common goal of benefiting
others. I'm a better practitioner and a better
person because I volunteer for the RPA!"
