ALS Role

Jon joined the ALS Team at the point that we began to design the best way to make what we had learned available to others. In his position as head of GMI and board member of Media Associates International, Jon brought a broad view of both the digital and print components of communicating what ALS was all about to others. We are particularly excited at the potential overlap and collaboration that can be nurtured as the academic community that participated in the ALS and the mission community of GMI share information and ideas. We will continue to work with GMI developing additional materials for the “Findings Page” and the “Resource Page”.
