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.

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. | Red Cross NewsWhat’s the one thing you never travel without on a disaster assignment?
