Volunteer leaders

As the life blood of March of Dimes, these individuals commit a year or more to serving in defined roles on a market board and/or campaign committees, helping to advise us on fundraising, movement and mission impact goals to improve the health of every family. The work of the March of Dimes could not happen without our Volunteer Leaders.
