Red Cross’s McGovern Flawlessly Juggles Fundraising And Haiti Disaster
American Red Cross President and CEO Gail McGovern‘s (pictured) birthday was today. Before her husband could even wish her “Happy Birthday this morning, she hopped on a plane to Dallas just to visit with the North Texas supporters of the Red Cross. The former Harvard Business School prof’s schedule was nicely and neatly planned for her stay in Dallas. Schmoozing with AT&T, Shrub, and the usual suspects. While she was meeting, greeting, and gratefully chatting it up with Red Cross folks like mainstay Billie Leigh Rippey at Myrna and Bob Schelgel‘s incredible estate, reports of the disastrous 7.0 earthquake in Haiti were being reported. Without an eyelash out of place, Gail’s crew was already announcing $200,000 to help with the initial support of the island country.
Tomorrow she’s meeting with W, ExxonMobil’s Rex Tillerson, T. Boone, and the head of Kimberley-Clark.
This is definitely a woman who has a masters in multi-tasking. This is also an organization that needs support to help others on a moment’s notice.
