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.
