Chavez (Valentova) is a Program Officer at the CCI Community Outreach
Department. She markets the PEP project to civic clubs in the
Southeast of the United States – Georgia, Florida, North
and South Carolinas. It’s been a privilege to work with
volunteers from the Muscogee Rotary Club!
Natasha came to San Francisco Bay Area in August
2001 to pursue her graduate studies in International Relations
at San Francisco State University as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar.
She was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Novosibirsk-Center, District
5010 – geographically the largest district in the Rotary
world. It covers 11 time zones and three countries – Alaska,
USA; Yukon Territory, Canada; Siberia and the Russian Far East.
As a Rotary Scholar, Natasha was hosted by the Rotary
Club of San Francisco #2, District 5150 – the second oldest
Rotary club in the world. She is the founding member and president
of the newly established Rotaract Club of San Francisco.
She has been actively involved in Rotary for the
last six years – as a Rotaractor, Rotary Volunteer and Rotary
Ambassadorial Scholar. In winter 1999-2000 she had a chance to
become the first Rotary Volunteer from Russia to provide humanitarian
service abroad. She served at the American Russian Center in Anchorage,
Alaska, and assisted its staff with business training for Russian
entrepreneurs from the Far East and Eastern Siberia.
Apart from Rotary, Natasha enjoys reading, music,
traveling and long walks along the Pacific coast with her husband
Oscar. Professionally she is interested in political psychology
and cross-cultural communication. She holds her Master’s
degree in International Relations.
