This is accomplished through:

• Serving as an advocate, representing the Red Cross volunteer needs within a specific community.
• Sharing volunteer needs within social networks / circles of influence.
• Meeting with community groups and schools to share about volunteer opportunities.
• Helping build / regain/ enhance presence in the local community.
• Providing Red Cross updates to local service clubs (Rotary, Kiwanis, etc.).
• Participating in local community events as an extension of Executive Director or Regional Executive.
• Assisting with cultivating, managing and stewarding external partner relationships including elected officials.
• Supporting routine meetings with key stakeholders (fire chiefs, mayors, veteran organizations, local media partners).
