RPA Gives – Salvation Army

At RPA, we love being able to support our employees’ efforts to give back to the community through our RPAgives program. This holiday season, Jessica Eaton and Ryan Seyler took time to volunteer and ring bells for the Salvation Army.
 
“I am a member of Lewis and Clark County Search and Rescue and the Sheriff’s Office was looking for extra bell ringers from SAR to help the Salvation Army. So, Ryan and I took the volunteer hours that RPA gave us and took a shift ringing bells at Albertson’s. We were competing against the Fire Department to see who could raise the most. Last year the Fire Department beat us by $6; this year the Sheriff’s Office raised $4,382 and the Fire Department raised $1,371. It’s always a good feeling, volunteering, especially around the holidays. The people in Helena are very generous!” – Jessica

Robert J. Peccia has been inducted into the Montana Professional Engineers Hall of Fame!

RPA is very proud to announce that Robert J. Peccia has been inducted into the Montana Professional Engineers Hall of Fame! This recognition is well deserved for our founder and leader for many years. He has led an impressive career as an engineer beginning with a walk across the stage and graduating from the Montana State College (now Montana State University) as the 15,000th graduate to now as a highly-respected engineer and businessman. He has always believed in taking care of his employees and in 2009, Robert sold the last of his RPA shares to the employees to create the first 100% employee owned engineering company in Montana. His continual generosity is also aimed at engineering students as he established endowed scholarships at both Montana State University and Carroll College and has hired many graduates over the years.
 
Congratulations, Robert on your many accomplishments and the recognition from the Montana Society of Engineers!
