Nationwide Assembly

The Nationwide Assembly is a body of volunteers from the 10 Chartered associations that coordinates and advises the nationwide organization on the best course of action for the American Lung Association’s three areas of mission delivery: Education, Research and Advocacy. The Assembly complements the work of the Board of Directors and provides a natural flow between the more strategic and visionary work of the Board and the day-to-day work of the Field.
