Governance

The Colorado Chapter of the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation was established in October 1973 and operated until June 1987, when it officially surrendered its charter and withdrew its affiliation with the National Myasthenia Gravis Foundation. The Myasthenia Gravis Association of Colorado was formed in June 1987 and has operated from that date until the present. We have renewed our affiliation with the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America and look forward to working with them. You can find them at https://myasthenia.org/.

The Myasthenia Gravis Association is a voluntary association governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and it is administered by a volunteer Executive Director. The association has no paid staff; all officers, directors, and the Executive Director are volunteers. The Association is tax-exempt under ยง 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
