Narrative
American Red Cross -East Hawaii Branch
Community Outreach and Disaster Mental Health Services
PROGRAM/SERVICE DESCRIPTION
A. Overview
I) Describe the program for which funding is being requested.
The American Red Cross of Hawaii -East Hawaii Branch respectfully requests $9,020 in county
support to purchase equipment and materials to improve the ability of Red Cross volunteer nurses
and crisis counselors to respond yt~ickly and effectively when emergencies and disasters strike in
East Hawaii and durir:g community events. Mobile counseling kits, first aid kits, a portable family
support center (privacy tent), equipment and LD. wear are needed to meet victims needs.
Whether it be an accident at a community event, a house fire affecting a single family or a tsunami
devastating entire communities, Red Cross volunteer nurses and mental health counselors are called
upon to provide critical services to help alleviate suffering and to reduce phvsical and emotional
damage. Nursing services include first aid and referral for medical conditions. Disaster mental
health counselors help victims and their families cope with the immediate effects of a disaster,
provide follow-itp counseling at hospitals and home and they link people in need to other community
mental health services. Like all Red Cross emergency assistance, these services are provided
without charge.
Overview of Organization: The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization, led by
volunteers, that provides relief to victims of disaster, and helps people prevent, prepare for and
respond to emergencies. It provides emergency assistance to individuals and families not provided
by county, state or federal services.
Spectrum of Local Red Cross Programs: Hawaii programs, including services provided through
the East Hawaii Branch, include disaster response and assistance, life-saving health and safety
classes and emergency communications. Programs include, but are not limited to, training
volunteers to respond to disasters and providing assistance such as food, clothing emergency shelter
and temporary housing to disasters victims, teaching CPR, first aid, swimming and lifeguarding
skills, HIV/AIDS education and youth development. The Branch's volunteers, clients and customers
live and work in all East Hawaii communities.
Disaster Health Services and the Role of Nurses and Mental Health Counselors: Red Cross
Disaster Health Services supplements community health care services. Just as the Red Cross
coordinates its overall disaster program with the community's public safety and emergency services
efforts, Disaster Health Services coordinates its efforts with local health authorities and [he medical
and nursing communities.
All activities and services provided by the Red Cross reflect quality health care services and current
professional health care standards. Disaster Health Services volunteers must have current license or
certificates in their field. Volunteers maybe R.N.s, L.P.N.s, E.M.T.s, P.A.s or allied health workers.
The main goal of disaster nurse responders is to alleviate suffering, prevent further injuries and help
speed recovery. Nurse responders are part of a cadre of Red Cross volunteers called Disaster Action
Teams. Members of these teams take special training and are certified to respond when emergencies
and disasters strike. They commit to being on-ca1124 hours a day, for designated periods, to respond
immediately to situations in their neighborhoods and communities.
Whether the volunteers are called to a family home, emergency site or public emergency shelter,
they are there to help with health issues ranging from minor injuries and the need for replacement
medicines and medical equipment, to severe injuries and even deaths. Nurses provide first aid,
emergency medicines and medical equipment, referrals and addition services at community events,
as well.
Disaster Mental Health volunteers must also have current license or certificates in their field. The
main goal of these crisis counselors is also to alleviate suffering, prevent long-term complications
and help speed recovery. Counselors work with victims, families and others affected by the disaster,
at the scene, and may visit and assist those affected at hospitals, morgues, etc. Recently, Red Cross
counselors helped families of the victims of a Big Island tour plane crash.
2) What unique or significant service will be provided?
The American Red Cross is the only nonprofit organization mandated by the U.S. Congress to
provide disaster relief to individuals and families. No other organization provides the disaster
recovery assistance and services or the volunteer disaster training provided by the Red Cross. Red
Cross services are a part of each community's county, state and federal response plans. Without the
Red Cross, these services would need to be provided by the government or other organizations.
Although the Red Cross is required to provide these services, no on-going government funds are
provided to pay for these services. Red Cross Disaster Health Services supplement government and
community health services and provide vital on-the-scene and public shelter heath services not
provided by other organizations.
Each Red Cross chapter and branch is truly acommunity-based organization, relying on local
volunteers and contributions to help those in their own communities. Our East Hawaii branch has
one full-time paid employee and more than 160 volunteers. The programs and services described in
this application are provided primarily through the commitment of East Hawaii volunteers.
3) What specific outcomes are to be achieved?
Following emergencies and disasters, the residents and East Hawaii will be healthier and more able
to continue, or return more quickly to, normal work, family and community activities. Residents
will also be more able to rely on themselves and members of their own neighborhoods and
communities when disasters and emergencies strike.
Trained and equipped nurses and crisis counselors can lead to:
1. A decrease in the number, severity and duration of long-term and short-term health problems of,
and a decrease the number of deaths and injuries to, East Hawaii residents following
emergencies and disasters.
2. A decrease in the cost to the county resulting from health problems of it's citizens following
emergencies and disasters.
3. An increase in the number of East Hawaii residents qualified and able to assist emergency and
disaster victims 24 hours per day.
4) How will the proposed program empower participants/clients to become self-sufficient
and facilitate positive social change?
The program will train and supply local volunteers with the skills, information, equipment and
materials they need to respond to emergencies and disasters in their own communities. It empowers
neighbors to help neighbors. It provides a tested development and action plan for communities to
turn to their own residents and resources, rather than government workers and resources, when
disasters and emergencies strike.
B. Problem/Need:
1) What is the problem/need the designed program is desi2ued to meet?
The Hawaiian Islands and its people are highly susceptible to natural and man made disasters. East
Hawaii, because it contains such a wide range of geologic conditions, as well as small airports,
harbors and industrial storage facilities, is one of the highest threat area in the state.
Tsunmai, volcanic activity, heavy rains, flooding, high surf, landslides and earthquakes are part of
East Hawaii's history and will be a part of its future. Other potential manmade disasters that affect
the public include, but are not limited to, plane crashes, hazardous materials spills and explosions,
brush fires and house fires. No one can predict exactly when these disasters will occur; therefore
trained disaster responders need to be ready and reachable 24-hours every day.
Many East Hawaii residents live far from traditional government response services, such as hospitals
and fire stations. In addition, when emergencies and disasters strike, neighborhoods, communities
and family members often are cut off from each other. Natural disasters, such as heavy rains and
flooding, often damage roads or lead to road closures. Access to homes, schools or emergency
services may also be blocked following manmade disasters, such as explosions or brush fires.
3
Therefore, it is the goal of the Red Cross to have a cadre of qualified volunteers able to help in their
own communities, immediately, when emergencies and disasters strike.
Note: The federal government has recognized the vulnerability East Hawaii and the
negative economic impact of disasters to the area. It has selected the Big Island as a priority
site for Project Impact funds, which may provide education and capital improvement support
to help reduce the impact of disasters. These services are not the same as Red Cross disaster
response services. Red Cross nursing services are not covered by Project Impact.
2) Who are the target populations and what are the specific needs?
All residents and visitors of East Hawaii, Hawaii County, are potential recipients of Red Cross nurse
services. Current Red Cross nurse responders are Hawaii County residents, and county residents are
potential candidates for volunteer training and service.
Training and equipping volunteers in nursing services is needed throughout East Hawaii and
especially in isolated and distant neighborhoods where residents a greater need for neighborhood and
community self-support. Equipment, supplies and first-aid kits are needed to fulfill the services
expected from Red Cross nurse responders.
3) What is the geoeraphical area to be served facilit~ud hours of operation?
The American Red Cross East Hawaii Branch serves all East Hawaii communities. Standard office
hours are 8a.m.- 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. However, the Red Cross's mandate is to
respond to disasters, large and small, 24-hours a day, wherever and whenever they occur. In order to
serve our clients, customers and volunteers, the Branch offers many after-hours and weekend
programs in volunteer response training, emergency awareness and preparation and health & safety.
C. CollaborationlCoordination
1) What specific measures will be taken to collaborate/coordinate with other community
resources to achieve maximum program efficiency and cost effectiveness?
The Red Cross partners with many government, civic and non-profit organizations, such as the state
and county governments, civil defense, and the Department of Health. It has formal agreements with
these agencies that detail the role of the Red Cross. Our services complement and supplement, not
duplicate, government or other non-profit services. Fire fighters, civil defense workers, hospitals
and other agencies depend upon the Red Cross to fulfill its responsibilities in order to meet the
spectrum of services required to ensure public safety during emergencies and disasters.
Collaborative efforts with various County agencies (Civil Defense, Fire Dept., Police Dept., Parks
and Recreation, etc.) have also enabled the Red Cross to better provide emergency preparedness and
health and safety education to the community. We also work closely with the State Department of
Education to ensure that facilities for shelters are available during emergencies. The Red Cross
spend many hours each year training volunteers and conducting drills and practices to ensure that
4
emergency shelters in every community will be quickly staffed and equipped for the safe use of
residents and visitors in every community.
Equally as important, the Red Cross is an active member of Volunteer Organizations Active in
Disaster (VOAD) and several other networks involved in emergency and disaster relief. Red Cross
volunteer leaders also regularly interact with other non-profit organizations such as the American
Heart Association, Boy Scouts of America, YMCA/YWCA and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hawaii.
American Red Cross policies and procedures provide the means to refer clients to non-governmental
organizations such as Salvation Army for additional assistance when needed.
2) How will these measures reduce or eliminate any existing duplication of services to our
designated target ~rou~
The American Red Cross is congressionally mandated to be the lead agency in disaster relief to the
public. No other organization has these responsibilities. We collaborate with other helping agencies
to leverage resources and to ensure effective service is delivered to those in need. The Red Cross
and its partner agencies continually strive for elimination of any potential duplication of services.
D. Goals and objectives

1. A decrease in the number, severity and duration of long-term and short-term health problems of,
and a decrease the number of deaths and injuries to, East Hawaii residents following
emergencies and disasters, and
2. A decrease in the cost to the county resulting from health problems of it's citizens following
emergencies and disasters,
3. An increase in the number of East Hawaii residents qualified and able to assist emergency and

activity and comfort items, for children and adults.
5
4. Increase the number of volunteer Red Cross trained nurses, nurse program supervisors and team
leaders through training. There are currently 26 volunteers qualified to serve as nurse responders.
Assessments recommend that 34 more nurse responders are needed for East Hawaii. Our goal is to
train all 34 in one year.
5. Provide East Hawaii Red Cross nurse and counselor volunteers with the supplies needed to fulfill
their responsibilities, including I.D. wear to ensure that the volunteers will be quickly and easily
identifiable to other agency's emergency and disaster responders and the victims/public.
2) What specific objectives/action steps are planned for each goal?
1. Purchase 15 pairs of radios, and train nurse and mental health volunteers in their use, to ensure
quick and reliable communications.
2. Purchase 20 first aid kits and review their use with nurse volunteers. Establish a system to
regularly check and restock kits. Kits include bandages, stethoscopes, scissors, alcohol, etc.
3. Purchase 20 Disaster Mental Health kits and review their use with nurse volunteers. Establish a
system to regularly check and restock kits. Kits include carrying case, office supplies, treatment
guides, children's activity materials and comfort items.

Cross volunteers, including media, community events and cormunity/partner organizations.
b) Conduct 3 volunteer trainings to secure 34 new qualified nurse volunteers.
c) Conduct 3 workshops to help develop and support the work of nurse program supervisors.
5. Purchase 3~ (nurses) and 20 (counselors) Red Cross safety vests, t-shirts, and other materials to
provide nurse and crisis counselor volunteers with the supplies needed to do their job safely and
to be easily identifiable to other agency's emergency and disaster responders and to the public.
3) What is the time line (start and end dates) for each action step?
Trainings will begin in the first quarter of FY 2001. Purchases and review of materials and other
items will begin in the first quarter and be distributed when available.
4) What significant client-centered outcome(s) will the program achieve? (Include in your
answer how manv participants/clients will (a) attain at least one personal program
outcome; or (bl show measurable progress towards your program goals.)
1. 34 new volunteer nurses will be trained to Red Cross service standards and empowered to help
their neighbors and communities when emergencies and disasters strikes.
2. Depending on the size and number of emergencies and disasters, including those at community
events, "X' number of East Hawaii residents will have less short- and long-term harm and
6
recover more quickly from incidents, following assistance from Red Cross nurses and crisis
counselors.
E. Service Delivery
1) What methodology will be used in the proposed program's delivery of services?
Volunteer Trainings will be conducted according to Red Cross procedures and methods. The Red
Cross is a leader in training volunteer disaster responders. Volunteers will be required to pass skills
and knowledge-based tests before receiving course certificates and being called upon to respond.
F. Evaluation
1) What process will be used to evaluate theprogram and services?
Standard Red Cross course instructor evaluations will be used following trainings. Committee
assessments of progress and quality of goals and service delivery will be reported to the Branch's
Advisory Council. Recommendations will be made and followed as advised by committee and
council.
2) How will this process measure the outcomes specified in Item (D, 1-41 above?
The processes provide not only quantitative information about movement towards goals, service and
outcomes; it also provides information about quality of service. It also serves as a means to develop
measurements and improve the process of gathering the correct data and information for measuring
outcomes--something that the Branch's volunteer leaders are interested improving.
G. Program Fees:
1) Does vour organization charge a membership fee for service participants?
(If'ves' describe or attach fee for service information.
The American Red Cross offers disaster response to all victims of disasters free of charge and never
is repayment asked for or accepted. Volunteers are not charged for trainings.
Volunteers are not charged for training and, in fact, they make a considerable commitment of time
and personal resources for the privilege of serving their neighbors.
2) Does the proposed~ro2ram charge participants a fee for service(s) provided by vour
organization?
Same as above.
7
H. Viabili
I) What is your justification or rationale for the expenditure of public funds for the
proposed program?
Red Cross services are a crucial and critical component of the county's ability to assist its
residents-imagine a disaster in our islands with no Red Cross response.
The services provided by the Red Cross benefit, in direct and indirect ways, all residents of the
County. If a disaster strikes, whether a single family fire, a major tsunami--or anything in between--
the Red Cross is prepared to provide nursing services, emergency food, shelter and clothing to all
victims regardless of political, social or economic status.
Emergency response provided by the Red Cross clearly and directly enables victims to return more
quickly to normal work, family and community activities, and to self-sufficiency. Red Cross nursing
services help to decrease short and long-term physical and mental health problems. Red Cross
services save the county money and can defer individuals and families from starting on government
assistance.
2) What are your financial and groErammatic plans to sustain the proposed ~roaram
beyond the upcoming_
Each Red Cross relies on its own community to provide the financial and volunteer support required
to provide its services. Each year we approach a wide spectrum of potential fenders in the
community for support.

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of American Red Cross -Hawaii

AMERICAN RED CROSS -HAWAII STATE CHAPTER
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1999 and 1998
(I) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Description ojOperation
The mission of the American Red Cross is to improve the quality of human life, to enhance self-
reliance and concern for others, and to help people avoid, prepare for, and cope with emergencies.
American Red Cross -Hawaii State Chapter (Chapter) attempts to achieve this mission by providing
services in the areas of disaster services, health and safety services, military services, and other
community services. The Chapter has offices on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai and
Molokai.
(b) Basis ojFinancial Statements Presentation
The Chapter's financial statements are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and the accounting practices prescribed by the American Red Cross-National Sector.
Net assets, public support and revenue and expenses are classified based on the existence or absence
of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of the Chapter and changes therein are
classified and reported as follows:
Unrestricted Net Assets -Net assets not subject to donor-imposed stipulations.
Temporarily Restricted Net Assets -Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that
may or will be met either by actions of the Chapter and/or the passage of time (see note 6).
Permanently Restricted Net Assets -Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that
must be maintained permanently by the Chapter. The donor of these assets permits the
Chapter to use all of the income earned on related investments for specific purposes (see
note 7).
(c) Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents of $3,000 at June 30, 1999 and 1998 consist of a time certificate of deposit. For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Chapter considers all investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(d) Inventories
Supplies inventories purchased for use in program services are carried at the lower of cost
(determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value.
(e) Buildings and Improvements and Major Equipment
Expenditures for buildings and improvements and major equipment are capitalized at cost. Donated
assets are capitalized at their estimated fair value at date of receipt.
9 (Continued)
. AMERICAN RED CROSS -HAWAII STATE CHAPTER
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1999 and 1998
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:
Buildings and improvements 20 - 45 years
Major equipment 5 - 10 years
Major equipment held under capital lease is amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of
the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.
(n Contributions
Contributions are recorded in the period received. Conditional contributions are recorded at their
estimated fair value in the period the conditions are met or in the period received if there is only a
remote likelihood that those conditions will not be met.
The Chapter reports gifrs of cash and other assets as restricted support if they are received with donor
stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a
stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net
assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net
assets released from restrictions. If donor imposed restrictions are met in the same period as the
contribution is received, the contribution is an increase in unrestricted net assets.
(g) Income Taxes
The Chapter is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
(Code). During the years ended June 30. 1999 and 1998, the Chapter had no unrelated business
income as defined by Section 512(a)(1) of the Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has
been recorded.
(h) Functional Allocation ojExpenses
The costs of providing the various programs and supporting services are summarized on a functional
basis in the accompanying financial statements. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated
among the programs and supporting services benefited on the basis of total personnel costs of the
various functions, a proportion of the direct costs, or usage for items such as occupancy and
depreciation.
(i) Reclassifications
Certain 1998 accounts were reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation. Such
reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported results of operations.

(j) Use ojEstimates
The management of the Chapter has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the
reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare
these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Acrual
results could differ from those estimates.
(2) Lease Commitments

$ 153,800
Rent expense for cancelable and noncancelable operating leases amounted to $68,170 and $53,696 in
1999 and 1998, respectively.
(3) Services to Members of the Armed Forces
The Chapter provides certain services to members of the armed forces and their families under a contract
dated June 11, 1985 with the American Red Cross -National Sector. In accordance with terms of the
contract, the Chapter received $272,004 and $400,375 in 1999 and 1998, respectively, for services
provided to members of the armed forces and their families. Related expenses for such services (excluding
the allocation of national fair share expense) amounted to $485,680 and $624,811 in 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
(4) Benefit Plans
The Chapter participates in a retirement plan administered by the retirement system of the American Red
Cross that covers substantially all employees. Under the plan, normal pension costs are funded currently
and all prior service costs have been fully funded. The Chapter funds the retirement plan at an amount
equal to 4% of qualifying salaries and wages. Contributions to the plan amounted to $33, lib and $40,967
in 1999 and 1998. respectively.
The American Red Cross also provides postretirement medical and dental benefits to eligible retirees and
their eligible dependents. Retirees and the Chapter pay a portion of the premium costs and the medical and
dental plans pay a stated percentage of expenses reduced by deductibles and other coverages. The
Chapter's share of such expenses amounted to approximately $1?00 in each of the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998.
The American Red Cross is composed of over 3,000 operating units (chapters, blood services and the
national sector). Accordingly, the retirement system and the postretirement benefit plans include
numerous participating chapters and blood services, and it is not practicable to compute actuarial present
values of individual chapters or blood service units. Actuarial present values and other required
disclosures for the American Red Cross are presented in the combined national financial statements of the
American Red Cross.

(5) Related Party Transactions
The Chapter is a part of the American Red Cross and as such engages in numerous transactions with the
national sector of the American Red Cross. Such transactions include payments to the national sector for
administrative and support services provided, reimbursement by the national sector of certain Chapter
expenditures, purchase of inventory items from the national sector, and Chapter participation in a
retirement plan administered by the national sector (see note 4).
The national sector provides for predetermined amounts charged to local chapters for administrative and
support services. The annual amount is determined at the beginning of each Chapter's fiscal year with
equal monthly payments made to the national sector. Payments to the national sector for administrative
and support services amounted to $287,784 and $415,825 in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Chapter
allocated the national fair share expense to its various programs (based upon an allocation formula
provided by the national sector) in the accompanying statements of activities and functional expenses.
Management estimates the Chapter's national fair share charge for the year ending June 30, 2000 to
approximate $266.000.
Local disaster services which are directly funded by the national sector are not reflected in the Chapter's
financial statements, except for a percentage of campaign collections retained by the Chapter and certain
expenditures which are not reimbursed by the national sector.
In 1999 and 1998, the national sector awarded various grants totaling $415,257 and $163'34, respectively,

organization of American Red Cross. The Chapter received $143,000 in 1998 to reimburse the Chapter for
payroll and other AmeriCorps operating expenses incurred by the Chapter.

Weinberg Foundation (Foundation) to support services provided to high risk youth in Hawaii. The
endowment is to remain in perpetuity unless the Chapter loses its income tax exempt status or becomes a
"private foundation" under Section 509(a) of the Code. In 1993, the Chapter received the Foundation's
approval to use the income provided by the endowment for general disaster relief until the high risk youth
program is implemented. This program was implemented in 1998. The endowment funds are invested in a
bank certificate of deposit, with interest remitted to the Chapter annually. Interest earned in 1999 and 1998
amounted to $62.200 and 50.615, respectively, and is reported as temporarily restricted revenues in the
accompanying statements of activities.

(S) Contingency
The Chapter is presently in negotiations with a communications company and the State of Hawaii (State)
regarding a telecommunications tower built on land leased by the Chapter from the State. The lease
agreement prohibits any commercial use of the real property without the State's prior consent, which had
not been obtained in this instance. The Chapter has demanded that the communications company remove
its tower. In response, the communications company has threatened legal action should the Chapter
continue its demand that the tower be removed. Management of the Chapter believes that this matter will
be resolved amicably through negotiations with the parties involved. Liabilities related to this matter, if
any, are not presently determinable.

American Red Cross
Congressional Charter
The American Red Cross, which is a single national corporation is organized and exists pursuant
to a charter granted by the United States Congress (36 U.S.C. Section 1 and following).
In its 1905 Charter, Congress authorized and directed the American Red Cross to "carry on a
system of national and international relief in times of peace and apply the same in mitigating the
sufferings caused by pestilence, famine, fire, flood..."
These unique obligations and duties assigned by the United States Congress to the American Red
Cross distinguish it from all other not-for-profit corporations and from all other charitable and
patriotic societies.
It has the legal status of both a federal instrumentality and a qualified tax-exempt charitable
organization.

A~fERICAY RED CROSS CODE OF CONDUCT
The American Red Cross is a charitable not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing
service to those in need. The American Red Cross has traditionally demanded and received
the highest ethical performance from its paid and volunteez staff. The conditions, however,
under which American Red Cross services are being provided have changed dramatically
over the past several years and will continue to change. Trends external to the American
Red Cross, most notably economic trends and the resulting cost-containment efforts in all
sectors of the economy, mandate that renewed attention be given to the conduct of those in-
dividuals who represent this organization.
In an effort to maintain the high standard of conduct expected of the American Red
Cross with respect to the management of its own affairs and to enable the American Red
Cross to continue to offer services required by those in need, the American Red Cross adopts
the following Code of Conduct applicable to all paid and volunteer staff.
No paid or volunteer staff member shall:
(a) Authorize the use or or use for the benefit or advantage of any person, the name,
emblem. endorsement, services, or property of the American Red Cross, except in
conformance with Corporte Re, lotions;
(b) Accept or seek on behalf of any person, any financial advantage or gain of other than
nominal value orferec as a result of the paid or volunteer staff member's affiliation
with the American Rod Cross:
(c) Publicly utilize anv Ame:scan Red Cross affiliation in connection with the promotion
of parisan politics, religious matters. or positions on any issue not in conformity with
the ortcial position of the ,4merican Red Cross:
(d) Disclose any confidential American Red Cross information that is available solely as a
result of the paid or volunteer staff member's affiliation with the American Red Cross
to any person not authorized to receive such information or use to the disadvantage of
the American Red Cross anv such conndential information, without the express
author,zation of the American Red Cross:
(e) Knowingly take any action or make any statement intended to influence the conduct of
the American Red Cross in such a way as to confer any financial benefit on anv
person. corportion. cr entity in which the individual has a significant interest or
affliction;
(t1 Operate or act in any ;Wanner that is contrary to the best interests of the American
Red Cross.
In [he event that the paid or volunteer staff member's obligation to operate in the best
interests of the .American Red Cross conflicts with the interests of any organization in which
the individual Was a financial interest or an affiliation, the individual shall disclose such
conflict to the .American Re Cross upon becoming aware of it, shall absent himself or
he: self from the room during delioerations, and shall refrain from participating in any

attempting to obtain a benerit or advantage for himself or for any organization in which the
individual has a substantial financial interest or with which the individual has an affiliation.
Any American Red Cross paid or volunteer staff member who has such an interest should
retrain from voting or dec'.son malting with respect to any issue relating to that organization
or individual. T'nis provision does not preclude paid or volunteer staff members from
presenting posuions or ooiniens on relevant issues, provided the nature of the potential
conflict is disclosed and the individual does not actually participate in the decision making.
