Join the RLS Foundation Board of Directors

Shape the future of RLS advocacy and research

The RLS Foundation is seeking passionate, committed individuals to join our Board of Directors. Board members have the unique opportunity to guide the strategic direction of the Foundation, support its mission and directly contribute to improving the lives of individuals living with RLS.

Board members play an essential role in governance, advocacy, fundraising and outreach. The Foundation relies on its board to provide thoughtful leadership, expand our outreach and ensure we remain a trusted voice for the patient and medical community. We welcome applicants who bring clinical expertise, lived experience with RLS, nonprofit leadership, or who have a background in business, law, finance or communications. Many of our Board members have been diagnosed with RLS or are RLS physicians, however this is not a requirement.

Board service is both a responsibility and a privilege. In addition to participating in board meetings (virtual and in-person), members are expected to serve on at least one committee and actively support the Foundation’s programs and goals. This includes contributing time and resources and acting as an ambassador for the Foundation within your professional and personal networks.

Serving on the RLS Foundation board is a meaningful way to give back and to join a dedicated team working to advance understanding, improve care, and ultimately find a cure for RLS. If you are interested in learning more about board membership, please contact info@rls.org for more information.
