About Us
Volunteer Leadership
The Golden West Chapter’s Board of Directors and Advisory Trustees are deeply passionate about our mission and vision. We are extremely grateful to these committed volunteers, who throughout the year, generously share their significant gifts of time, expertise, leadership, compassion, and funding. We appreciate these dedicated volunteers for who they are and what they do to support the ALS community, and to fuel the mission of the Golden West Chapter.
