Division of the association and has served in various capacities of his local bar associations.
Redmon is past chairman of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, past president of the Alexandria Rotary Club, past chairman of the Eighth District Republican Party, and served as chairman of a task force of business and residential leaders to develop a joint long-range vision for the City of Alexandria. Redmon was special counsel to the
Presidential Inaugural Committee in 1981, 1985 and 1989. Two international geological congresses convened in the United States selected him as their general counsel, as did the Desert Storm National Victory Celebration in 1991.
Redmon, active in the Washington Beta Theta Pi Alumni Association since 1961, is a past-president of that alumni association and was active in securing housing for Beta Theta Pi's Maryland chapter. He chaired the Sigma Rho (Illinois chapter) Centennial Fund, a capital campaign to fund chapter house restoration. During the course of the campaign, Redmon devised a program that involved the Beta Theta Pi Foundation and the Society for the Preservation of Greek Housing and yielded tax-deductibility of 70% for each contribution. Redmon has been a facilitator at the Fraternity's Institute for Men of Principle.
