Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is comprised of hardworking volunteers determined to make a real difference in the lives of those living with lupus.
The board meets six times a year. Working committees for Board Development, Education and Fundraising meet monthly. Each member of the board is expected to serve on one working committee and be a member of the Foundation.
The board currently has a few openings and is actively seeking members who can bring experience in one or more of these areas: education, collaborative efforts, marketing, fundraising, special events, advocacy, grant making, and finance.
