A Message from the Executive Director of the America On the Move Foundation
Rachel Lindstrom, PhD
I am honored to be appointed the America On the Move Foundation’s (AOMF) new Executive Director and to have the opportunity to work to advance our mission to promote active living and healthful eating by helping people make small, sustainable healthy lifestyle choices. I became involved with AOMF as a volunteer and was immediately excited about the AOM vision. America On the Move (AOM) has helped millions of people lead healthier lives. As obesity and related disorders finally take center stage in the new conversation on health that’s occurring here in the United States, I believe AOM is up to the challenge to help millions more find ways to take small steps toward better health. It is only possible to tackle this daunting problem as a team made up of our board of directors, our staff, our business, and community partners, and you.
Composed of leading experts in science, medicine, nutrition, business, public health, and physical activity, our board of directors provides guidance, meaningful research and innovation. Their support allows us to effectively promote exceptional public health for individuals and our society.
We have dedicated and talented staff and volunteers who help people across the country make healthy choices. Their unwavering enthusiasm drives our ability to carry out our mission.
Partnerships with businesses and community organization that share the AOMF’s vision of health help bring America On the Move’s programming for healthful eating and active living to more people and places every day. Corporate sponsors exemplify the vital connection between good business and good health.
Last, but never least, there’s you. Thank you for taking the time to learn about America On the Move and spreading the message that everyone can live more healthfully by making a small change today.
