Jim DiPeso
was one of REP's earliest members, as well as one of our founding
directors. From 1996 to 2000, he served as Secretary of the Board of
Directors. His outstanding contributions were recognized with REP's
first Founders' Award at our September 2000 annual
meeting in Jemez Springs, New Mexico.
In
the spring of 2001, as REP experienced the greatest growth spurt in its
history, Jim resigned from REP's board and joined our staff as
Communications Director. He was promoted in October 2002 to Policy
Director and again in January 2009 to Vice President for Policy and
Communications.
Jim's policy expertise and way with words have served REP very well
over the years...
