Our Leadership

The American Red Cross is the nation’s largest, independent, nonprofit humanitarian organization helping people prevent, prepare for and respond to all types of emergencies. No other entity provides our depth of services to communities in the United States and around the world.

Every household in America has benefited in some way from the life-saving mission of the Red Cross. Through a volunteer-led network of more than 700 local chapters and 36 Blood Services regions; through more than half a million volunteers and 35,000 employees; we are a powerful, grassroots organization. As one of 180 Red Cross and Red Crescent societies around the world, we belong to a global humanitarian force of 98 million employees, volunteers and members.

The leadership here at your local Red Cross provides the framework to carry out our mission with compassion and dignity each and every day. Through our staff and board of directors, opportunities are created for those within our community to step up and help change a life, starting with their own.
