Parkinson Foundation elects two new members

The Board of Directors of the Michigan Parkinson Foundation recently elected two new individuals. The appointments were announced by Chief Executive Officer  Deborah Orloff. Newly elected was attorney Tyrone Baharozian of Berkley. He practices general law, initially serving as an assistant city attorney and an assistant prosecutor. Baharozian, whose mother had Parkinson’s, has been very actively involved in MPF walk-a-thons.

Also elected was Maxine Meach of Traverse City, who founded the Grand Traverse Area Parkinson’s Education and Support Program more than 20 years ago. Her husband, Charles, had Parkinson’s disease and she recognized the education and support needs of people affected by the disease and their families. She has been very active in the organization in the Grand Traverse region, fostering services, education and support, including the Summer Forum, which attracts more than 200 people from around the state the first Thursday in June.
