Behind this mission is a board of directors who bring diverse experience, expertise and passion to everything we do. Our board members are parents, professionals, community leaders and advocates who share a common commitment: to ensure Lulu’s story inspires meaningful change and to help close the technology gap for amputees everywhere. Together, they provide the leadership and vision needed to expand our reach, strengthen our impact and ensure every decision reflects the values of resilience, compassion and innovation that define Lulu Strong.
