Dr Linda Braddy, CEO
North Texas Red Cross
From the Red Cross Web Site:
"We respond to an emergency every 8 minutes.
No one else does this: not the government, not other charities. From small house fires to multi-state natural disasters, the American Red Cross goes wherever we’re needed, so people can have clean water, safe shelter and hot meals when they need them most.
- We respond to an average of more than 60,000 disasters every year.
- 95% of our disaster relief workers are volunteers.
- The vast majority of disasters we respond to are home fires."
Dr. Linda Braddy joined the American Red Cross North Texas Region as its CEO in February of 2023.
