"I joined ARCAN to keep in touch with the people, but also with the Red Cross mission. I tell my friends who are former Red Cross colleagues that the Red Cross has an amazing work force, and experts in a lot of different things. I recommend that people work continually to maintain their professional network, which I like to think of as my work community. Ask for help from others but offer it back if you can.”
