Local Red Cross Gets Highest Rating
Each year Red Cross chapters across the nation are evaluated on a variety of organizational strength issues including: service delivery to the public in Health & Safety training, Disaster Relief services, and Services to the Armed Forces. Fundraising, financial management, and governance matters are also evaluated. A scoring formula produces one overall score, and a rating.
Recently, the 2008 performance scorecards were tallied, and chapters were rated as Failing, Needs Improvement, Successful, or Highly Performing. For the second year in a row, our local American Red Cross, the Asheville-Mountain Area Chapter received a "Highly Performing" chapter rating!
"We are very pleased that for a second year, we have demonstrated that we are managing an excellent organization and providing high quality services to the people of Western North Carolina" said Borad Chair, Fred West, "thanks to our staff and volunteers for the outstanding job they are doing".
