b'As we closed out fiscal year 2020, we bade farewell to second chiefexecutive officer in RCACs history, Stan Keasling. He was no stranger to the organization and its mission when he joined RCAC in 2008. Three decades earlier, he helped Self-Help Enterprises (SHE) form RCAC. Keasling returned to RCAC with a lifetime of experience and dedication to community devel-opment along with a passion to eliminate poverty and its effects on rural communities. His vision ensured that RCAC didnt just survive, it thrived.His dynamic and tireless drive led to new programs that are now supporting economic development, improving access to safe drinking water, increasing housing access on Native lands and ensuring that fam-ilies who want to pursue homeownership can get the financing and counseling they need.Visionary. Creative. Indomitable. With a great grasp of numbers and a legendary laugh,Keasling left his mark on RCAC and communities throughout the rural West.Thank you Stan.'
