March 23 – Susan Shansky and Natalie Sustache of the American Red Cross

Susan Shansky began volunteering with the American Red Cross in May 2024, after retiring from a long career in budget management and communications at MIT. With a lifetime blood donation total of 10 gallons, it didn’t take long to direct her post-career volunteer efforts to the Red Cross, where she serves as a blood donor ambassador and supports Natalie’s volunteer recruitment work.

Natalie Sustache has spent the past four years with the American Red Cross as a Senior Recruiter, leading divisional and strategic recruitment efforts that strengthen our mission and build the teams needed to serve communities when they need it the most. Her focus is on developing strong leadership pipelines and ensuring we bring in talented, mission‑driven people who help the Red Cross deliver hope and relief every day.
