American Lung Association

Description

The American Lung Association in the fight for healthy lungs and healthy air, you help save lives today and keep America healthy tomorrow.

Mission Goals

• The American Lung Association will eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related lung disease.
• The American Lung Association will improve the air we breathe so it will not cause or worsen lung disease.
• The American Lung Association will reduce the burden of lung disease on patients and their families.

The American Lung Association has a dedicated board of directors and nationwide assembly, volunteers who donate their time to help the organization plan and achieve its goals, which are clearly identified in the Lung Association's five-year strategic plan.

From a governance and oversight perspective, the Lung Association's board and assembly convene 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.
