Timothy Cox has spent his entire professional career serving others – through the military and as a volunteer. When the opportunity to continue his service as an employee of the American Red Cross opened, Cox couldn’t resist.
“The skills I acquired in the military – leadership, management and work ethic – will translate well in providing the services offered through the humanitarian mission of the Red Cross,” Cox said.
Cox was hired as the Community & Resource Development Manager for the Big Country Branch of the American Red Cross Chisholm Trail Chapter and officially assumed his duties on July 21, 2009. Cox will be responsible for working with a team to build capacity and support for service delivery in the Big Country. His focus will be to recruit and develop volunteers, increase awareness about Red Cross services and programs in the community, and work to build financial support for Red Cross activities in the area.
Prior to this position, Cox was an active duty member of the United States Air Force for six years, and most recently contracted with U.S. Army Special Forces as an explosive detector dog handler, trainer and supervisor. During his service with the military, Cox witnessed firsthand how the Red Cross helps the men and women of the Armed Forces. In 2000, Cox received an emergency communication from the American Red Cross while serving in the Nevada desert. He learned of a family emergency and, as a result of the message from the Red Cross, he was able to get home to be with his family during an especially difficult time.
