Andriola was formerly the president/chief executive officer of the Associated Builders and Contractors and had been there for nine years.

“I very much enjoyed my time with ABC, the Board of Directors and Trustees, and the people with which I interacted to effect change within that organization,” says Andriola. “I just felt it was time to make a change and am extremely excited about the opportunity with the Red Cross.”

The former CEO, Caroline Punches, retired on June 29 after eight and a half years with the Northern Nevada Red Cross Chapter.

It provides disaster relief assistance to individuals and families, training courses in first aid, CPR, swimming and other areas and provides multiple services to the Armed Forces, including family member communications for deployed service men and women.
