Serving on the American Red Cross of Southern Missouri Board is an opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact in the communities we live in and care about. Every day, the Red Cross responds to disasters, supports military families, ensures patients have access to lifesaving blood, and equips individuals with skills to save lives. As a Board member, you help make that work possible.
This is more than a leadership role—it is a chance to be part of something larger than yourself. Our Board is made up of dedicated community leaders who bring their time, talent, and connections to ensure we are reaching more people, building stronger partnerships, and delivering on our mission across 25 counties in Southern Missouri.
As a working board, members are actively engaged—collaborating through committees, supporting community events, and helping open doors to new relationships that strengthen our impact. You will work alongside passionate volunteers, staff, and fellow leaders who share a commitment to service and community resilience.
Board service also offers an opportunity for personal and professional growth. Members gain deeper insight into community needs, expand their network, and play a direct role in shaping the future of the Red Cross in our region.
Most importantly, serving on the Board means standing with neighbors in their most difficult moments—ensuring no one faces an emergency alone.
