Board of Directors

The Alliance for Aging Research is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Board members set the strategic direction and guide the Alliance in meeting its mission to change the narrative to achieve healthy aging and equitable access to care. We are grateful to these volunteers who devote their time and talent to advancing healthy aging for all.
