Friends of Colombia and Peace Corps Connect

Calling all Colombia Peace Corps Volunteers! 
Gather in the great state of Texas, June 20 – 22, 2019 

During Peace Corps Connect 2019: “Innovation for Good” you’ll meet the Peace Corps community from across the country, mix with local changemakers, and learn strategies and best practices to create more sustainable communities. Jody Olsen, Peace Corps Director, will update you about today’s Peace Corps. Glenn Blumhorst, President, NPCA, will announce exciting new initiatives. The two and a half days will be full of keynote speakers, expert panels, interactive sessions, and a whole lot of fun.

The conference showcases information and exhibit booths from some of the over 180 NPCA affiliate groups. Friends of Colombia (FOC), our very own affiliate group, will host a booth. Look for Terry Adcock (Colombia 1, 1961-63) and Cutter Uhlhorn (Colombia 2017-19) near the booth. Terry and Cutter are fervently searching for other Colombia RPCVs who will represent the Colombia Peace Corps experience and help staff the FOC booth. (Once a Volunteer, Always a Volunteer!).

On Friday, June 21 Colombia RPCV’s will meet at Casa Colombia Restaurant, sponsored by FOC, at 6 pm, an hour prior to the South American Regional Dinner, which will also be held at Casa Colombia Friday evening at 7:00 PM. Stop by the FOC booth to get details.
