Deepest condolences go out to Dick’s family and loved ones...

Esteemed former American Red Cross President, Richard (Dick) Francis Schubert (November 2, 1936 – July 12, 2024) passed away in Fairfax, VA.

Services will be held on September 28, 2024 at 10 a.m. at the McLean Presbyterian Church, 1020 Balls Hills Road, McLean, Virginia.

A graduate of Yale Law School he served as U.S. Under Secretary of Labor. He was formerly president and vice chair of Bethlehem Steel; Founding Chair of International Youth Foundation and Peter Drucker Foundation; a founding board member of Management Training Corporation; and chaired the National Job Corps Assn and Nazarene Compassionate Ministries.

Following Dick’s retirement in 1982, he was president of the American Red Cross, from 1983-1989, at a time when the organization was threatened with a potential fiscal crisis. Gaining a reputation as a tough but fair president with a strong business orientation, he reorganized national headquarters, promoted improved staff performance, introduced strategic planning to help guide the organization into the future, and led the Red Cross into the computer age. During his tenure, the Red Cross also began a major AIDS public education initiative, built the Holland Laboratory for Biomedical Sciences in Maryland, and diversified the sources of its funding support.
