"I am tremendously impressed with BrightFocus—both its support for some of the world's most innovative brain and eye research, as well as how they educate and advocate for families to better understand and manage Alzheimer's, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. I am excited to work with my fellow Board members to help BrightFocus achieve even greater success."
