It is a privilege to be a part of an organization that provides impact of such great magnitude," said Jennifer Pfeil, chief development officer for the Red Cross. "I look forward to working with this region's outstanding development team, helping to share the Red Cross story across our state and engage even more people in this life-changing movement."
