Our Leadership
Mt. Pacific Board Members 2011-2012
The board of the American Lung Association of the Mt. Pacific is the regional governing body of Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming Lung associations. These volunteers meet every other month, functioning in between meetings through various committees. They represent the interests of their respective states, as well as the region as a whole, in advancing the ALA’s tobacco control, lung health and air quality initiatives. It is the responsibility of the Board to hire the President/CEO and to provide fiduciary oversight for the organization. Most Board members also serve on each state’s American Lung Association Leadership Council as well.
