Red Cross ERVJamestown (CSi) Buffalo Valley Red Cross Chapter, Manager, Beth Dewald has resigned her position, saying “It was just time”

Dewald has been with the Red Cross for over 16 years in Jamestown, and prior to that, was on its board of directors. She had also worked for 7 1/2 years for the Red Cross in Minnesota.

Red Cross Regional Executive Director, Judy Green says, “She’s pursuing other opportunities.”

It’s possible the Jamestown office at the Jamestown Business Center, could close as a disaster program specialist does not have to live of work in Jamestown.

While the disaster program specialist will need to live within the Minn-Kota area, he or she will not have to reside – or work – in Jamestown, meaning that the Jamestown office may be closed.

Dewald was the only paid Red Cross staff member in the Jamestown area, though there are 30 Red Cross volunteers in Jamestown, including seven Red Cross volunteer leaders.

Ms. Dewald thanks the community for all the support people have provided to the Red Cross, volunteers and herself.
