Board Of Advisors
The Fuqua Center for Late-Life Depression has benefited significantly from its Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee is comprised of 25 members selected for their individual expertise and organization affiliation. Each member has played a significant role in the expansion, strength and quality of the Fuqua Center services. Over the years, the Advisory Committee has grown in size and now operates in working committees (e.g. Development, Public Relations/Marketing, Clinical Services, Community Education/Outreach) that develop strategic initiatives and identify specific ways that members can advance the work of the Fuqua Center.
