Our Team
RPOP makes it a priority to hire staff and work with an advisory board that is representative of the community we serve. RPOP's work is led by a majority Black staff. Because of our range of unique skills, the RPOP team has been able to reach hundreds of Russell residents, businesses, faith leaders, and other community members.
