Piedmont Chapter Board of Directors

The Piedmont Chapter is proud to be led by a strong Board of Directors who provide governance, strategic advice and development assistance.

From the Chapter President and CEO

Every day we are inspired by the courage and determination of women, men and children living with lupus. Here in the Piedmont Chapter, we have passionate volunteer leadership, all dedicated to growing our programs and support of the 14,000 with lupus. From new chapter board members, support group leaders, media and community partners to Walk and other committee members, the number of people supporting the chapter grows every day!

We are the only statewide valuable resource for lupus patients, providing thousands with educational information, referrals, resources, support groups and educational programs. We know that lupus is under-researched, under-funded and under-recognized. Nationally, our advocacy efforts have led to increased lupus research funding. The LFA's direct funding of research has grown 100 percent in the past 3 years with $2 million in direct support to lupus research.

We know our volunteers are our greatest resource. We hope that you will help us to change people’s lives by volunteering. Please get involved and make a difference. Together we can provide hope for a future without lupus and help to everyone living with lupus until that day comes.

Sincerely,

Christine John-Fuller
President and CEO
Lupus Foundation of America, Piedmont Chapter, Inc.
