Spotlight: OLCV Volunteers of the Year

by: OLCV | April 30, 2009 - 17:22

At OLCV’s 12th Annual Dinner for the Environment last Friday, in what was fittingly Volunteer Appreciation Week, OLCV awarded two outstanding volunteers for their tireless commitment to the environment: Lincoln County Chair Rolla Cleaver and Multnomah County Chair Walt Mintkeski.

Rolla Cleaver has been an instrumental member of the OLCV Lincoln County Chapter for more than five years and he has served as chair of the Lincoln County steering committee for more than two years. He has worked tirelessly to help transform the face of Lincoln County politics, working hard to help elect and re-elect pro-environment candidates throughout the county. His leadership has been instrumental in helping voters become more engaged in local government at all levels. Last year, he led the charge to elect a pro-environment majority to the Newport City Council.
 

Walt Mintkeski has a long history with OLCV, having been one of our original board members back in 1972 and having been involved with OLCV in one way or another throughout the years. He specifically chose to become involved with the Multnomah County Steering Committee, where he has served as chair over the past two years, because he believes in the on-the-ground, grassroots work the chapters do to elect pro-environment candidates. Walt helped the committee raise more than $20,000 over the last two-year cycle.
