Huntington’s Disease Society of America - Arizona Chapter is looking for volunteers to fill various roles within our chapters. If you have a passion for helping people and want to support people living with Huntington's Disease, we'd love to hear from you! This opportunity is available to anyone living in Arizona.

Board of Directors: Our board of directors is responsible for leading HDSA's mission in Arizona and providing support for the thousands of families who are impacted by HD in our state. We are in search of new board members who are willing to volunteer their time for this important cause. Our board of directors meets every two weeks for an hour (via Zoom currently). Outside of these meetings, board members will help plan chapter events, secure sponsorships, educate the community about HD and contribute in any other way possible.

Chapter committees shall work on delegated responsibilities separately but will communicate with other committees to increase effectiveness and productivity. Each committee will identify a Chairperson, who will report directly to the Chapter President The Chapter President or Chair is responsible for ensuring that all committees are functioning effectively and working towards established goals. Previous experience in these areas is not necessary to serve on these committees. We are in need of willing community leaders for the following committees:
