Our House e-newsletter March & April 2014 | Page 4
The CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service
(CNCS), the organization that provides our AmeriCorps members,
visited Our House for an afternoon in April. Wendy Spencer came
with Valerie Green, General Counsel of CNCS; Kathie Ferguson,
Southwest Cluster Area Manager; Opal Sims, State Program Director;
and Derek Cromwell, State Program Specialist. They toured our
campus and met with our VISTAs and other AmeriCorps members,
learning about Our House’s programs and how the AmeriCorps
members serve those programs.
During her visit to Arkansas, Spencer wanted to see a featured
AmeriCorps site. Our House was selected because of our performance
as a grantee and because Our House had been awarded Outstanding
AmeriCorps VISTA Site.
