Senior Management

Jayson Buckley

Executive Director, American Red Cross Northern Valleys Chapter

Jayson began his Red Cross journey in 2018 as an Account Manager in Donor Recruitment and quickly made his mark with dedication, excellence, and results that speak for themselves. Over the years, his contributions have been recognized time and again from receiving the DRD Rookie of the Year award in FY19, to being honored with both Level 1 and Level 2 Employee Excellence Awards in FY20, and earning multiple spots in the Donor Recruitment Presidents Club for exceeding annual goals.

In 2023, Jayson was promoted to District Manager of Donor Recruitment for North Los Angeles/San Fernando, where he has led a dynamic team of ten with energy, innovation, and purpose.

Jayson holds a BA in Speech Communication from Cal State Fullerton and brings to his new role not only strong leadership skills, but also a deep understanding of our mission and the communities we serve. I’m confident that his vision and collaborative spirit will strengthen our work across the Northern Valleys Chapter and beyond.
