Tiffany, Founder/CEO, has worked professionally in Project Management and Marketing, as well as taught design and business on a college level for eight years. After being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2009, she started a "Movement of Awareness", which spiraled into the nonprofit you see today. Tiffany oversees all sectors of IAAM, focusing primarily on business relationships, the Media Awareness Hotline, Advertising, and runs the Volunteer Training Program. In addition she serves on the organizations Board of Directors.
Tiffany says, "I've always been a leader and teacher, a strong personality, and a dire optimist. I have a wonderful family and I pride myself in surrounding myself with quality friendships. I knew when I developed Rheumatoid Arthritis, and not many people seemed to understand what that meanth, that it was my calling in life to use all my expertise and talents to make a difference... I did not know, however, that I would be fortunate enough to enter this journey with former law enforcement workers, super-moms, funny ladies and a motorcycle mama on a healthcare mission. How lucky am I?

Volunteers
Volunteering with IAAM is more than raising awareness, helping with wellness or researching resources, we are a family of individuals motivated to change the world...mostly from our home computers! Because we work primarily virtually, it is important for our Volunteers to be in complete sinc with our mission and goals, history, programs, and social networking etiquette. Training is done online, via email. Sessions begin every January, April, July, and October. To inquire about Volunteering for our next session, please email tiffany@IAAMovement.org .
