Rachel was a PIONEER in the Activity Profession!! I remember hearing her speak in 1990 in Phoenix, AZ and was so impressed with her knowledge!! I had no idea then, that I would have the privilege of serving on the National Association of Activity Professionals Board with her for many, many years!! As Treasurer for NAAP – she was the best!!! She later supported the newest credentialing for Activity Professionals and was a consultant to our Board. The Activity Profession has surely lost another great FORCE, whose heart was always with our profession!
