Jackie Barger

Executive Director

As executive director, Jackie Barger’s primary responsibility is promoting the mission, vision, and core values of Children’s Smile Center (CSC). His experience in the non-profit sector dates back to 1985, two years after he earned his bachelor’s in communication and business Administration from Drury University. In 1987, he earned his Master of Business Administration and joined CSC in 2010.

His favorite thing is to greet patients and their families in the lobby daily and visit them about their dental experiences. Driven by a desire to make a positive difference for those who need it most, Jackie explores ways to improve our dental services. But the part of the job he loves is sharing stories about the impact dentistry can have on children’s lives.

When not at Children’s Smile Center, Jackie is very active in his local church. He also appreciates walking, reading, and the simple joys of yard work and mowing the lawn. One of his passions is live music. Having played the tuba in college, Jackie has been involved with numerous bands, including classic rock and country western. He now enjoys performing easy listening standards for receptions, private events, and restaurant venues.
