RHA’s Associates Board is a group of young professionals, 25-40, dedicated to volunteering their time, talents, and energy to build a future with healthy lungs and clean air for all.

Members serve as advocates for the Association’s work addressing asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, tobacco control, and air quality - all while advancing personal, professional, and leadership goals.

The Associates Board leadership will also work with members to develop creative fundraising opportunities.
