2018 Volunteer of the Year
James Calvert

​
​I  would like to nominate James Calvert for Volunteer of the Year.  James is a board member of the Historic Roger Mills Preservation and Development, the Cheyenne Education Foundation, The Cheyenne-Strong City Alumni Association and if he's not currently on the Friends of the Rook Theatre , Board, he's very involved in its development. James is not the out front face of any of these boards but he is the technological backbone of all of them.  The time and mental effort that James puts forth on his computer is actually pretty astonishing, which includes writing and editing the procedures manual for the Education Foundation, Writing and editing the Alumni mailing list, as well as promoting the numerous boards, their activities and the communities they represent, on social print media.  The success that these organizations have achieved in recent years is due equally to hands-on manpower and the tech based power of computers and James is mighty in both.This is why I think James should be recognized as Volunteer of the Year.
Sincerely, Cindy Malson
I would like to add that James is also on the Roger Mills County Board of Health and The Board of Trustees at the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence.
