2009 Award :

Souvenir Sales, T&P Judge, Executive Director, Finance Manager, Unit Pre-Staging
Spectator Ticket Sales, Parking Director ... you name it and Brent Worthington has done it. Brent has contributed in many capacities to RMPA, with his current primary role being that of Finance Manager.

It is due to his guardianship of our finances that we are able to withstand the impact of needing to reschedule the 2009 Championships.

After spending hours each week on our finances, he is here every Saturday, always willing to help in any capacity. For his sincere commitment to RMPA, we are happy to declare him the 2009 RMPA Volunteer of the Year.

2008 Award :

For the 2008 season, the Volunteer of the Year awards were presented to Terri Worthington and Ginger Gainey.

Terri has been the mastermind behind all of the RMPA fund-raising that includes corporate sponsorships, souvenirs (from initial concept to the fabulous items for sale) as well as professional photo and video opportunities. RMPA benefits greatly from her strong business and people skills.

Ginger is a superb ambassador for RMPA. As one of the first contacts our judges have with RMPA, she coordinates all of their travel plans with precision and personal attention. As our host liaison, she provides booster associations with generous support to ensure that hosting an RMPA competition is an enjoyable and profitable activity.

Thank you to both Terri and Ginger for the time they cheerfully give and their "can-do" attitudes!

2007 Award :

For the 2007 season, our gratitude and the Volunteer of the Year award was presented to Lissa & Charlie Nocera and Sandy & Ray Koons.

For many years, Lissa and Sandy have managed all aspects of the tabulation at RMPA competitions. During those same years, Charlie and Ray have been responsible for the RMPA equipment, contest site preparation and unit movement during the competitions.

They have been the consistent thread holding our tapestry together.
