Our Community Leadership Boards drive the mission, fundraising goals and programmatic initiatives of CureSearch in cities and regions across the country. Board members foster strategic relationships within their communities, creating new sources of sustainable funding, driving event participation and increasing awareness of the CureSearch mission. Each Community Board is led by a committed group of volunteer leaders with experience and expertise in business, fundraising, marketing, events, healthcare, advocacy and more.
