Corporate Diversity

The Inland Northwest Chapter of the American Red Cross is committed to being a diverse organization.

Commitment from the Top

From the American Red Cross Chair Bonnie McElveen-Hunter

As the Chairman of the Board of Governors, I am enormously grateful for the opportunity to serve the American public through the work of this great organization. For 125 years, the American Red Cross has worked tirelessly to respond to the needs of all Americans, from all walks of life, in all circumstances. I am committed to sustaining that legacy of service.

Our ability to accomplish our mission and meet our commitment to service will undoubtedly be tested by the many challenges, known and unknown, confronting our nation today. Acts of terrorism and the threat of mass casualty disasters, an economy struggling to regain positive growth, and the ever-changing face of the communities that we are called upon to serve, will require the best from all who seek to join us as volunteer, employee, blood donor, or financial donor.

America's great diversity is a natural resource that differentiates us from all other societies in the world today. The Red Cross strives to integrate that diversity into all facets of its operation, and the Board of Governors has made diversity a standing item on its governance agenda. Under my chairmanship, diversity will be a key consideration across the range of issues that fall within our purview. We must ensure that all Americans, from all communities, have the opportunity to participate in the critical mission of the Red Cross.
