Speakers Addressing
the Challenges of Diabetes
The African American Diabetes Association is honored to offer its top leadership as dynamic speakers who can inspire and inform your audience. These speakers, including our co-founders will share their personal stories, illuminating the profound impact of diabetes on millions of Black Americans. They will address critical health disparities and share their advocacy for essential services to improve the well-being of the Black and other minority communities.
Our speakers are available for both in-person and virtual engagements, offering flexibility to suit your event's needs. While their insights are invaluable, we understand the importance of budgeting. Please reach out to discuss your specific requirements and explore fee options that align with your organization's goals.
of Mrs. Loretta McNeely Reed
On behalf of the African American Diabetes Association, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Mrs. Loretta McNeely Reed. We are truly touched by the generous memorial gift in her memory from her classmates of the Denmark Olar High School Class of 1970.
Loretta's legacy of friendship and compassion will live on through this donation, which will support our mission to educate and advocate for African Americans affected by diabetes.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
