A Good Friend of Retirees Will Become One

by Dave Therkelsen, ARCRA President

        Chances are you recognize the name Anna Shearer. You’ve seen it on a lot of official documents that come to employees and retirees of American Red Cross.

        I’ve known and worked with Anna over a long period of time: as an executive in both a Blood Region and a Chapter, as an employee planning my own retirement, as a member of the ARCRA board, as ARCRA president. I know first hand how much all of us owe to Anna for the smooth and effective administration of benefits that we all take for granted. In fact, the smoother things go with Red Cross benefits, the more it reflects Anna’s quiet but firm determination that things be done right. A lot of the information you get from ARCRA about benefits originated with Anna.

        Anna has announced her retirement, after 15 years as Vice President, HR Support Services, as of this August 2016. We’ll welcome her to our own ranks. We’ll miss her as a key person within ARC who helps make things go well for retirees.
