Direct Relief’s impact overseas, as well as in communities in the U.S., is the result of many dedicated and compassionate people, each of whom plays a different but important role and contributes to the organization’s mission. Direct Relief is composed of a dedicated staff of more than 50 employees, and it draws vision, strength, and expertise from an outstanding Board of Directors, a distinguished International Advisory Board, and several hundred volunteers who contribute their time, talent, and energy to the organization in many ways.
