RPCV/W and NOVA RPCV invite you to join us for an evening of International Development Professionals and Federal RPCV Storytelling at the Writer's Center (metro accessible!) in Bethesda, Maryland Saturday evening May 17, 2025!

This event is about honoring International Development Professionals, and other Federal RPCVs impacted by recent changes to the federal government, giving them the voices they were denied. Join us to hear their stories and enjoy being in community.
