Hello! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Beth Miller and I am the new RSVP
director for Dubuque County. I am very excited to be returning to RSVP as the director and getting to
work with each of you!
Just a little about me... I am returning to RSVP a little over 9 months after completing my internship
with RSVP. I started my internship for RSVP in October 2012 and stayed on throughout the previous
director, Amy Schauer's, maternity leave. I was thrilled when the opportunity to become the RSVP
Director presented itself! I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Loras College
where I was exposed to National Service. I have been an AmeriCorps member serving under Iowa
Campus Compact and Green Iowa AmeriCorps. I also interned for the City of Dubuque Human Right's
Department assisting with the Volunteer Generation Fund Grant.
I am happily engaged and planning a wedding for this October. My fiance's name is Andy Kelchen and
he works for Custom Precast Company in Cascade, IA. I grew up in Cedar Rapids and currently live in
Cascade.
I would like to take a moment to thank Amy Schauer for her years of service to the program and con-
gratulate her on her new position as the Developmental and Marketing Director at Opening Doors! I
know she worked closely with many of you and I appreciate your support during this transition.
Thank you once again for all you do for the program! I can't wait to meet all of you!
Feel free to stop in my office any time. I can be reached at 563.589.2622 or
