Karl Neumaier will serve as the Tulsa Area Board Vice Chair, and Tralynna Scott has been elected Secretary.
Neumaier has almost 30 years of experience in supply chain management and operations and, together with his wife, Jennifer, recently signed an agreement to bring early childhood education program the Celebree School to Tulsa. They anticipate opening the first location in late 2024 or early 2025 in the South Tulsa area. They recognize the tremendous growth of the Tulsa market and the significant need for quality childcare in the community.

“I’m grateful for Michael, Karl and Tralynna’s dedication to the Red Cross mission and to the Tulsa Area Chapter,” said Alice Townsend, Regional Executive for the Red Cross serving Kansas and Oklahoma and Executive Director of the Tulsa Area Chapter. “Their vision for our work is inspiring, and they truly understand the importance of the Red Cross not only in Tulsa, but also in Creek, Mayes, Okmulgee, Rogers and Wagoner counties.”
