Excerpt from Article:
Volunteers
with strong loyalty to their cause tend to hold their traditions sacred. Imagine
what would happen if two long-standing volunteer groups, serving different
children's hospitals in the same city, united after decades of fiercely independent
-- even competitive -- operation. That's exactly what happened recently at
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta .
With
a combined history of more than 160 years, both Egleston Children's Health Care
System and Scottish Rite Children's Medical Center were venerable Atlanta institutions.
For each, a strong hospital auxiliary -- with both volunteer fundraising and
in-hospital service functions -- was a point of enormous pride. After Egleston
and Scottish Rite merged to form Children's Healthcare of Atlanta in 1998, the
new Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation Board of Trustees challenged
the two volunteer groups -- with more than 5,000 members in all -- to put aside
their differences and join as one.
