Merger Announcement:
The American Lung Associations of Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina merged on July 1, 2007 to become the American
Lung Association of the Atlantic Coast, Inc. (ALAAC). While our
organizations have merged, we will continue to do business under the names
American Lung Association of Maryland, American Lung Association of Virginia and
American Lung Association of North Carolina. This move follows a trend to have
the state Lung Associations create regional entities to maximize resources and
make the organization more effective and efficient. There will be no
interruption in the programs we offer or the services we provide and in fact,
some new programs will be launched or expanded as a result of the merger.
Melina
Davis-Martin took the helm as President and CEO of the ALAAC in
September following five years as President of the National Multiple Sclerosis
Society of Central Virginia Chapter located in Richmond.
A regional board of directors was named that includes representative from the
three states. Local leadership boards will provide guidance.
