The New Year Brings New Changes

February 2, 2023

Thank you, David Gifford, for your past 4 years of Service to the Dup15q Alliance as Board Chair.

“Being the Board Chairperson for the past four years has been an extremely rewarding experience, challenging at times, but always positive.

My connection with the Alliance is our granddaughter, Annabel Porath. The decision to apply for the board membership was driven by a desire to do more for her, and the community. Involvement with the Board has given me a better understanding of our syndrome and an appreciation for the tremendous work our Alliance team does for our community.

Although my time with the Board has come to an end, I will continue to be involved in whatever way I can. In the end, I got much more from being involved over these past years then I gave, and that is about as good as it gets.” – David Gifford

Looking towards the future, we are excited to Announce our First Co-Chairs of the Dup15q Alliance Board, Lisa Feehery and Anne Karch.
