After a distinguished career as a librarian, Nita Rausch completed the Extension Master Gardener intern training in Dallas County and eagerly jumped into many key roles among the volunteer opportunities the Master Gardener program offers.
Among her many significant contributions to the program, Nita served as head of the Speakers Bureau, training many of our speakers and reaching out to the community to book presentations throughout Dallas County and beyond. She also served as head of the Hospitality Committee and was a coordinator for MG intern training for several years. She received the President’s Volunteer Service award after completing 4,000 hours and has provided 8,204.5 hours of service.
It is because of her exemplary service in so many roles that Nita Rausch was nominated Emerita status.
