Local Red Cross Chapter Names New Director
There's a new person in charge of the Western Illinois Chapter of the American Red Cross, starting Thursday.

The Red Cross says Lisa Kugler has been hired as their new Executive Director, replacing Carrie Bernett, who stepped down at the end of June to take a position with a Galesburg hospital.

Kugler, the Red Cross says, was previously the Regional Financial Development Officer for the Quincy region of the Red Cross, where they say she grew donations into that chapter.

The Western Illinois University graduate majoring in Agriculture co-owned a business in Macomb with her husband, prior to her Red Cross employment, and was a previous director of Public Relations for McDonough District Hospital in Macomb.

In a press release, Kugler says she's excited to work for the Red Cross chapter representing Knox, Warren, and Henderson Counties, and wants to see how services can be expanded in all three areas.

Kugler is married and has two adult sons.
