• Margo Olson,  Co-founder and Executive Director of RVR. She is a Certified Compensation Professional (CCP) as designated by the American Compensation Association.

         She manages RVR’s personnel program, supervises benefits administration, staff training, and management information. Margo manages the procurement process and negotiates service contracts with professional providers. She has planned and coordinated regional and statewide conferences. She is knowledgeable of federal laws and regulations governing workforce-related programs and consistently, on a daily basis, is the major RVR problem-solver and decision-maker.

        Margo holds a B.A. from Indiana State University and an M.S. in Consumer Economics, also from ISU.

        Unlike leadership approaches with a top-down hierarchical style, Margo firmly believes in servant leadership, which instead emphasizes collaboration, trust, empathy, and the ethical use of power. At heart, the individual is a servant first, making the conscious decision to lead in order to better serve others, not to increase their own power. The objective is to enhance the growth of individuals in the organization and increase teamwork and personal involvement.
