Building on Our Legacy: A Q&A with Becky McCorry, ARCAN President 

Our goal is to expand our reach to current employees and volunteers, recognizing that the Red Cross family extends beyond alumni and retirees. We envision ARCAN as a vibrant social fabric, connecting individuals who share a passion for the Red Cross mission, regardless of their tenure or current status.”

ARCAN is embarking on an exciting new chapter, building on a rich history of connection and service. Neal Gorman, ARCAN's Communications and Marketing Committee chair, recently sat down with ARCAN's President, Becky McCorry. View the video of the interview here, or read highlights:

Neal Gorman: What truly excites you about bringing together past and present Red Cross individuals?

Becky McCorry: For me it's about the enduring "family" that the Red Cross fosters. Whether someone served for a few years or dedicated their entire career, there's a shared love for the mission and countless "war stories" to share. ARCAN provides a vital space for these individuals – past employees, current employees and volunteers – to connect, learn from each other, and continue giving back to the Red Cross family.

What’s the one thing you never travel without on a disaster assignment?

Samantha Taylor, NHQ Communications Senior Program Manager Disaster Public Affairs 

For Red Cross disaster responders, it might be a favorite snack, a lucky hat or a comfy strawberry blanket like Sam’s. Regardless of their go-to items, their ultimate mission is the same on disaster deployment: to support people in need.

Whether you work from home, have weekends free, or can travel across the country, there’s a way for you to make a real impact.

We’re looking for volunteers to:

• Help set up emergency shelters.

• Coordinate logistics for emergency relief supplies.

• Support shelter residents as they move out of shelters.
