Changes at the Top
The American Diabetes Association has announced that CEO Tracey D. Brown has left the organisation to become President of Retail Products and Chief Customer Officer at Walgreens.
A statement from the ADA reads: We are extremely proud of the impact she has led in the transformation of the organization and her help in accelerating the positive effect that we continue to have on the ADA’s eighty-one-year-old promise “to prevent and cure diabetes for all those affected. Under her leadership, the organization has experienced a profound transformation. The team created new programs and fundraising models, established new partnerships, re-engaged our professional members and volunteers, refreshed our brand and our website, developed Big A advocacy, punched above our weight with communications, continued to build upon our Science and Healthcare area of expertise and of course, strengthened our connection with those that we serve – People living with diabetes!”.
