Cindy Erickson is no stranger to adversity.  As Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the American Red Cross of Missouri and Arkansas, floods, fires, tornados and natural disasters are realities she faces on the job.  Join us as Cindy shares how she takes adversity – her own and others’ — and weaves it with her strong Christian faith to forge work ethics and principles that are truly unconventional.

Cindy’s career at the Red Cross began in 2009, as the CEO of the St. Louis Chapter.  During her tenure, she has helped navigate organizational restructurings, mergers, and regional realignments.  Today, Cindy oversees a $28 million budget, one of the largest Red Cross organizations in the country and is responsible for Red Cross services in the city of St. Louis and 199 surrounding Missouri and Arkansas counties.

“Part of our job at the American Red Cross is to provide hope and help to people who have lost everything,” Cindy says.  She credits her upbringing with giving her the compassion necessary to face these types of challenges.  “I was raised in a family where service for others was really a part of the fabric of my family.”

Providing opportunities for people to help other people in times of crisis also gives Cindy great joy.  One of her favorite memories is of keeping her office open all night and responding to a fire call with her Disaster Action Team during a major snowstorm.  Fortunately, all were safe and her crew was able to provide much welcomed assistance and shelter to the families.

Join us on Monday, November 4th, to hear Cindy talk about facing adversity – in the workplace and in life – with trust, courage and compassion.  You’ll be inspired by her unconventional story!
