Passionate about wanting to help others, Barbara Miller is excited about starting her new position as Executive Director at the Riverview Community Action Corporation (RCAC). “I have spent my entire career helping people to get the most out of their lives,” says Barbara when asked why she joined RCAC. “There’s a great opportunity in this area to have our community center become the go-to place for more people over the age of 60.”

Barbara notes that a recent community survey shows that there is strong interest in taking part in fitness, education, wellness and social programs among those who are not familiar with or who have not visited RCAC. Additionally, RCAC recently held several focus groups where participants talked about their positive experiences. Comments included that they were “very happy with the staff,” found RCAC to be “like a family,” and felt that everyone received special attention, time, and care. One participant talked about how they had recently moved to the area and connecting with RCAC helped them feel part of the local community. Another said they liked how RCAC seemed to be more of an activity center versus a senior center.
