The Lung Association has a dedicated board of directors—volunteers who donate their time to help us plan and achieve our goals, which are clearly identified in our strategic framework.
From a governance and oversight perspective, our board convenes regularly in order to monitor progress toward achieving these goals. A performance-based management system enables the Lung Association to track and report on progress toward not only meeting its longer-term goals, but also shorter-term objectives related to fulfilling the mission of the organization.
