The American Red Cross Alumni Network (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, to delve into the network's past, present and future. Here are some highlights from their insightful conversation:

Neal Gorman: Becky, it's fantastic to hear your passion for ARCAN. What truly excites you about bringing together past and present Red Cross individuals?

Becky McCorry: For me, Neal, 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.
