Gwen T. Jackson, Chair Emeritus for the American Red Cross in Southeastern Wisconsin, marked 50 years of Red Cross volunteer service in 2007. Gwen has been a leader throughout the Red Cross organization, as well as in the community. Remarkably well known at both the local and national level, Gwen has positively impacted the lives of thousands and has greatly influenced the significance of volunteerism.

Gwen began her Red Cross career in the Service to Military Families Department. By 1988, she had risen to one of the highest volunteer positions in the organization, National Chair of Volunteers. She has served as a member of the American Red Cross Board of Governors and as a member of the Chapter's Operations Team and Human Resources, Financial Development and Service Delivery Committees.

Gwen's life-long commitment to civic involvement has earned her numerous awards and well-deserved recognition. Please join the Red Cross in recognizing Gwen for her 50 years of volunteer leadership as we honor her with the establishment of the Gwen T. Jackson Leadership Endowment.
