As our world faces a growing number of natural disasters every year, emergency responders are stepping up in greater numbers in response. That includes organizations like the Red Cross, whose nearly 150 years of experience and thousands of volunteers nationwide are there to support individuals and communities before, during and after disasters strike. Kellie O’Connell is the new CEO of the Red Cross of Illinois, and she joins hosts Becky and Eileen on the latest episode of The Broad Cast to talk about her decision to pursue this role, how the Red Cross is adapting to address increasing natural disasters, the ecosystem of women CEOs in Chicago and more.
