American Red Cross Board of Directors Calls for Nominations
Since its inception, the cornerstone of the American Red Cross has been our volunteers. To meet the ambitious yet critical objectives of the Strategic Plan, we will need volunteer leaders who are people of action-people who know how to get things done. The Governance Committee of the Board of Directors is asking those of you associated with the organization to nominate volunteers with proven track records who have the capability to provide strategic leadership in support of the Frederick County Chapter of the American Red Cross.
Nominations must be received in the Governance Committee Chair by close of business, Monday, June 2 2008.
All nominations will be vetted by the Governance Committee, a process which will include an interview and reference check as well a background check and conflict of interest review. Due to this process, which is mandated by the National Board of Governors, we will not be accepting nominations from the floor at our annual meeting. The criteria for nomination are either self-nomination, or nomination with prior approval of the candidate. Those interested in submitting a nomination should submit name and contact information to:
governance@frederickredcross.org
Or mail to

“ It’s a culmination of a dream” stated Keith Roberson, building chairman. A packed room of volunteers and other well-wishers gathered to celebrate the dedication of the 16,000 square foot building that includes two classrooms, a meeting room, disaster storage, office space for volunteers and staff and a historic center. Mr. Roberson helped raise more than $1.5 million toward the renovations. Since he was such an integral part of the new facility, the building was officially dedicated in his honor. The Frederick County Chapter has served the Frederick County community since 1917.
