Alan Albert Rubin

Although I joined Partners after Alan's departure, we saw each other at related events in DC. He also was very pleased that my children were Foreign Service officers and my daughter became a US Ambassador, he always enquired about her. His commitment to international development was outstanding, he did change the world for many and saved multiple lives. His legacy will be eternal. I send you all a big abrazo with my heartfelt condolences.

Alan gave me the opportunity to work at Partners of the Americas from 1982- 1996. After he retired we kept in touch and called each other for our birthdays. He always had kind and encouraging words for me. The last time we talked was February for his birthday, he said he was ready to go. I will miss our phone calls and emails. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved ones today and always. My Sympathy to all his Family.

In loving memory of a wonderful person who believed on me. I will love you and miss you always.

Alan was a great friend of my parents (Liz and Peck Hill). My parents travelled in Latin America with Liz and Alan and Partners of Americas. Alan and my father went skiing (once I got to tag along), took trips to the beach and toured Civil War battlefields together. I remember lots of laughter and a few tall tales. My parents´ friendship with the Rubins lit up their lives. Alan was also especially kind to me and my sisters, calling just to reminisce about fun times with Liz and Peck. My...

Like Barbara Bloch, I joined Partners of the Americas when Alan was retiring, however I had the pleasure of seeing him often during my ten years at Partners and later, through my continued work with other NGOs. He even called me years later, when he learned I had been chosen president of FAVACA. He was always welcoming, kind and interested, and fully committed to supporting inter American collaboration in our hemisphere. His legacy will live forever.

Alan was a wonderful gentile mentor to those of us that started our nonprofit experiences at EARTH University Foundation. And he made that work fun!!

I have known Alan since Alliance for Progress days and worked mwith on various Partners of teh Americas projects. His dedication and vision were virtues that he put to practical purposes. The world today needs clones of Alan.

I joined Partners of the Americas shortly after he retired but he was such a presence that at times I felt I knew him before I actually met him in person. I eventually became part of the former Rubin staff and attended many reunions sharing in his stories with laughter, some tears and disagreements on the direction or changes in Partners over the years. Partners is more than 60 years old living the Rubin credo-connecting people, serving communities and changing lives. RIP.

So sorry for your loss. Alan was full of life. Always welcoming and full of life. He will be missed.
