Meet Our New National Volunteer Advocacy Committee Co-Chairs

Kirk Astroth, an adult with cystic fibrosis, and Brittney Householder, a godmother to a teen with CF, will lead our volunteer advocacy efforts as
our new National Volunteer Advocacy Committee co-chairs ([link removed]). As we push forward with new therapies and advancements in CF care, advocacy remains essential to ensuring access and affordability. We thank Marissa Benchea, an adult with CF, and Jeremy and Rachel Olimb, parents of children with CF, for their leadership as co-chairs since 2022.
