Sister to Sister's Community Council is a made up of a group of select women from the corporate, government and non-profit worlds who come together to help plan the National Women's Healthy Heart Campaign. These local leaders pass on our heart-health message to the women they influence in their communities. They are aware of how critical it is to promote awareness of heart disease among women, and understand the need to turn knowledge into action.
Our Community Council members assist the Campaign with program planning, outreach, promotion and sponsorship sales. We truly appreciate their efforts in helping to save the lives of women in the Atlanta area.
