    Community Leadership Board

    The Community Leadership Board is a group of well-connected and influential volunteers who are actively engaged in advancing the mission and vision of the Alzheimer’s Association. The board works in close collaboration with chapter staff and fellow community leaders to advance the organization’s strategic implementation plan priorities and amplify reach in all communities by building and cultivating relationships with key stakeholders while fostering diversity, equity and inclusion.
