Red Star Foundation Welcomes Bobbi Sedor to Board of Directors

Clearwater, FL – The Red Star Foundation is proud to announce the appointment of Bobbi Sedor to its Board of Directors, effective September 1, 2025. Sedor brings more than 20 years of leadership experience in enterprise risk management, organizational strategy, and governance to the Foundation’s mission of supporting military service members, veterans, first responders, and their families.

Sedor currently leads Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) at GBU Financial Life, where she oversees the company’s risk management posture, corporate insurance program, and outsourced Internal Audit services. A Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), she has built a reputation for cultivating strong risk cultures and embedding enterprise-wide risk awareness.

Her career includes seven years at Highmark Health, the nation’s second largest blended health organization, where she directed the Enterprise Risk Strategy team, and 15 years at a top 25 U.S. bank, where she launched and grew the bank’s first ERM program.

“Bobbi’s experience in building sustainable systems, creating accountability, and guiding organizations through risk and governance challenges will be invaluable as Red Star continues to expand its national impact,” said Jerry Shaffer, Chief Executive Office. “We are honored to welcome her to our Board of Directors.”

Sedor holds a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Finance and a Bachelor of Science in Economics and Finance. She lives in Clarence, New York, with her husband and two children. Outside of her professional work, she enjoys fitness, outdoor activities, and caring for animals.
