About Us
Our Board of Directors
Each year within the Sonoma County Medical Association Alliance, volunteers are called upon to accept the honor of being called a leader. These Alliance members juggle family, friends, volunteerism, leadership and careers. They work tirelessly to ensure that the needs of our community are met and that next year’s leaders are prepared to carry on the same mission.
We are proud to introduce our current leadership which includes our Board of Directors and Committee Chairpersons. All are Alliance members of vision and passion who have been making a powerful impact in Sonoma County communities.
