West Palm Beach, FL, March 09, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The Board of Directors of Alzheimer’s Association Southeast Florida has selected Ann May as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Alzheimer’s Association Southeast Florida Chapter.
“We are thrilled to have Ann join the team as we reach a critical time in the battle against Alzheimer’s,” said Enrique Piñeiro, Board Chair of the Alzheimer’s Association Southeast Florida Chapter. “Ann brings a wealth of experience in the non-profit and volunteer development sectors and equally important, she shares a passion for our mission and is the right leader to help raise concern and awareness about Alzheimer’s disease in our community.”
May joins the Alzheimer’s Association with 30 years of leadership experience in a variety of roles at several leading non-profit organizations, including the American Cancer Society, the YMCA and most recently, Best Buddies International.
As the Senior Director of State Development for Best Buddies International, May created the first standardized national walk model for the organization which raised more than $3 million dollars and boasted 24,000 participants in the walks. May also designed new special event and foundation grant initiatives leading to an increase in giving for special events, individual, corporate and foundation grants.
Prior to that, May was the Southeast Region Field Vice President for the American Cancer Society, and helped the organization raise $60 million in revenue to support research and programs during her seven years there. May also worked for the YMCA for almost twenty years, most recently, as the CEO of the YMCA in Broward County, overseeing a $5.5 million budget that served 7,000 program members throughout Broward County.
“I am thrilled to join such a dedicated and determined group of individuals who share the same vision of a world without Alzheimer’s,” said Ann May, newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Alzheimer’s Association Southeast Florida Chapter. “The Alzheimer’s Association of Southeast Florida will continue to bring loving support, care and hope to the individuals, families and communities we serve.”
