AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION

Description

Our Mission: To save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.

Our Vision: A world free of lung disease.

Our Strategic Imperatives:

• Defeat lung cancer.
• Improve the air we breathe so it will not cause or worsen lung disease.
• Reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families.
• Eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases.
• Accelerate fundraising and enhance organizational effectiveness to support the urgency of our mission.

The American Lung Association is a charity built on trust and transparency, and is a proud holder of the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Guide Seal.

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.
