The PEI Parkinson Association (PEIPA) is seeking Expressions of Interest from individuals who wish to serve on their Board of Directors. Parkinson’s is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease.

PEIPA incorporated in May 2023 to better serve the needs of people living with Parkinson’s, their families, and caregivers. Their present membership is 80+ and is growing monthly. They currently support a movement/dance class, a voice therapy class as well as monthly support group meetings. 

At the moment, their services are centered in Charlottetown. Their goal, however, is to provide more programs and extend our services to other parts of PEI.

To achieve this, PEIPA needs committed and energetic people to join their team. Desired skills for director recruitment would include financial acumen, fundraising skills/experience, computer/ technical skills, and communication/social media skills. Board/governance experience would be an asset.

Expressions of Interest will be accepted until April 30, 2024, ahead of the PEIPA AGM on May 16, 2024.

If you have any questions, please contact The PEI Parkinson Association at [email protected] or call Florence Larkin, Board Chair, at 902-213-1207.
