Why I Volunteer for the Democratic Party of Oregon
By Dr. Rosa Colquitt, PhD
Vice Chair, Democratic Party of Oregon
Over the past decade I have used a singular quote from civil rights icon, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as the tag line for all email communications and my personal Facebook header. Fully written into the depths of my heart are his inspiring words about serving others, that for me, have turned into a lifetime of volunteerism.
