The American Red Cross of Western New York has named Kenneth Lee as Executive Director of the Greater Rochester Chapter, which serves Allegany, Cayuga, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Seneca, Wayne and Yates Counties. Lee has a lengthy history in not-for-profit community service, having served in leadership positions in the YMCA for 17 years. He began his new role on October 31.
“We’re excited to welcome Ken to our leadership team,” said Nick Bond, CEO of the Red Cross Western New York Region. “The leadership experience he brings from a service-oriented organization, as well as his expertise in developing greater efficiencies, will be a great benefit to our dedicated volunteers and staff as we continue our mission-driven work within not only the Greater Rochester Chapter, but our entire 27-county region.”
“It is an honor and a great opportunity to work for an organization that has a long history of being present and helpful for humanity,” Lee said. “I love the idea of serving and helping others, and the Red Cross is a place where I look forward to working hard to engage and connect with our community members to ensure that we have the resources necessary to respond and serve others.”
A graduate of Roberts Wesleyan College, where he majored in Business Management, with a minor in Communications, Lee resides in Rochester with his wife, Moniek. They have three grown children; Andre, Ameer and Amari.
