RALEIGH — The Alzheimer’s Association – Eastern North Carolina Chapter recently promoted veteran leader Christine John-Fuller to the role of executive director, where she will oversee the Alzheimer’s Association’s impact within the state’s 51 eastern counties.
John-Fuller has been with the Alzheimer’s Association for seven years, overseeing communications and one of the organization’s development campaigns for both the Western Carolina and Eastern North Carolina chapters. Prior to this role, she served as president and CEO of the Lupus Foundation of America’s North Carolina Chapter.
“Christine has added so much value to our organization through her breadth of experience, her passion for the cause and collaborative leadership that has helped strengthen our impact across the state,” said Katherine Lambert, Alzheimer’s Association regional leader for North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. “We look forward to seeing her continue to move the needle forward on our mission to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.”
The executive director position was previously held by Lisa Roberts, a longtime executive with the organization who died earlier this year.
“I am honored to be entrusted to help lead the Eastern North Carolina Chapter in fulfilling the Alzheimer’s Association’s mission,” said John-Fuller. “Like many, I was introduced to the heart-wrenching realities of Alzheimer’s far too early in life as a teenage caregiver for my grandmother. It was that experience that drove my decision to align my work and passion with the Alzheimer’s Association. This personal journey, combined with the people I’ve met and the stories I’ve heard since my time with the organization began, continues to drive me with even greater force.”
The Alzheimer’s Association is a worldwide voluntary health organization dedicated to Alzheimer’s care, support and research. The Eastern North Carolina Chapter provides patient and family services, information and referrals, education and advocacy in 51 counties. For more information, visit alz.org/nc or call 800-272-3900.
