Recognizing the important role of business within our society, UNICON is committed to the involvement in community support initiatives. As such, UNICON’s President and CEO, Peichen Jane Lee, recently enrolled UNICON in the Tiffany Circle of the American Red Cross. The Tiffany Circle is a society of women leaders, business owners, and philanthropists that follow in the footsteps of a long line of women leaders who have helped the Red Cross serve the American public in times of war and peace with disaster assistance, blood collection, safety training and countless other community assistance services. The society is named for the beautiful Tiffany windows in the Board of Governors Hall at Red Cross national headquarters in Washington, D.C. These windows, produced by the Tiffany Studios, were commissioned by Red Cross President Mabel Boardman in 1917 The women in these windows personify virtues at work in the Red Cross Movement: hope, mercy, faith, charity, truth and fortitude. Members of the Tiffany Circle provide living examples of these virtues in their local communities, by ensuring the Red Cross has the ability to help people prevent,prepare for and respond to life’s emergencies.
