REM Award Honorees (2006) — Sandra Hammond (Rape Crisis Assistance and Prevention)

Without the help of our Volunteers, the vital work of this agency would not exist. It was the generous help of volunteers who founded our agency and it is caring volunteers who help keep us running today. Helpline Volunteer Advocates field hundreds of calls each year. Office volunteers help with administrative tasks and with many of our Outreach activities. Board Members volunteer many hours each year to help with fundraising, personnel issues, financial oversight, communications, marketing, and other areas as needed. Volunteer Board Members help to guide and to direct the work of RCA&P.

Sandra Hammond has been a Volunteer Board Member for over five years, taking on the role and responsibilities of the Treasurer since 2003. Sandy has provided solid, logical oversight of agency financial matters and has helped us increase our annual budget. This budget increase has enabled us to add many new programs and services for the people we serve. Sandy’s quick wit and winning smile make her a joy to work with. It is with great pride that we introduce her as RCA&P’s REM Community Volunteer Award winner of 2006!

Note: Unfortunately, due to a lack of funding, Rape Crisis Assistance and Prevention closed for good on December 31, 2008.
