The Board
The Macular Degeneration Foundation is governed by a Board consisting of eleven people.
All Board Members and Advisor positions are honorary.
The diversity in the members is reflected in the diversity of the Board, including Members from backgrounds in medicine, optometry; corporate, investment and financial fields, information technology and law. Three Board Members have the disease at differing stages, several members have family with MD, and the ophthalmology and optometry members are internationally recognised specialists in their field.
The Board's composition is aimed at a balanced representation of clients with MD, community representatives with a strong interest in the disease and the medical and optometry professions.
The Board meets once every twelve weeks with an Annual General Meeting in October of each year.
