A Q&A with David Morikawa “My father passed away last year and was part of the U.S, Army’s highly decorated 442nd Regimental Combat Team composed primarily of Japanese Americans during World War II. My mother is also Japanese American and was interned at Heart Mountain Internment Center during World War II. Family and our Japanese culture are important to us.” |
Featured Alumni Anne Chan from Northern California At 5:04 p.m. on October 17, 1989, the 6.9M Loma Prieta Earthquake shook our building at 1550 Sutter St. I was leaving the building to go to the parking. You guessed it; I turned around to go back to our office. Volunteer and paid staff jumped in to help.” |

Welcome to the American Red Cross Alumni Network where former Red Cross employees come together to CONNECT and network, ENGAGE in shared interests, and INSPIRE others through service and giving. Join us as we celebrate our successes, champion challenges, and channel the energy of lasting connections to make a difference for good.
"I joined ARCAN to keep in touch with the people, but also with the Red Cross mission. I tell my friends who are former Red Cross colleagues that the Red Cross has an amazing work force, and experts in a lot of different things. I recommend that people work continually to maintain their professional network, which I like to think of as my work community. Ask for help from others but offer it back if you can.”
Court Ogilvie, American Red Cross NHQ, 2002 - 2014
