Outstanding State Managed Volunteer Pool (SMVP) Volunteer - Dr. Frances Munkenbeck, MD

Not only is Fran an active member of her MRC unit (Lane County), she is also very active as an SMVP volunteer. She participated in Pathfinder 2024 and is a charter member of the SERV-OR Advanced Team. When the Advanced Team pilot program expanded statewide, she recruited another Lane County MRC volunteer to join. Fran has taken numerous trainings throughout the year to stay relevant and informed. She is always willing and ready to offer advice, assistance and share resources in the cause of preparedness. During non-response, she is one of the most active and involved volunteers I’ve encountered during my AmeriCorps service.

Dr. Fran Munkenbeck joined the State Managed Volunteer Pool in March 2021, answering the call during the height of the COVID-19 response. Since then, she’s remained an active, dedicated volunteer—always willing to show up, learn, teach and lead. Fran has taken part in numerous trainings and exercises and played a key role in launching the SERV-OR Advanced Team. Her professionalism and heart make her a trusted member of our emergency response community.
