Update on National Youth Council volunteering

I'm sure you all remember Kelly Davis who is our our volunteer on the National Red Cross Youth Council, and was formerly the President of the Furman University Red Cross club and member of our Board of Directors. She was at the Chapter recently and gave Ann an update on her current activities.

Excitingly she has been asked to stay on the Council an additional year, so she is now one month into her fourth year on the council. This year she will be the project lead for the Navin Narayan College Scholarship, the Navin Narayan Convention Youth Speaker Award, and the Convention scholarships. She will also work on one more project committee which will probably be the Convention and Youth Institute committee.

In the past she's worked on the Convention and Youth Institute committee and the Measles Initiative committee; she was the project lead for the Navin Scholarship last year as well. She says she's enjoyed meeting the Board of Governors members; her adopted BoG is Doug Dettrick. She has greatly enjoyed the company of BoG members Karen Goodman and Rick Grinnan.
