Caring Ambassadors Program Announces Selection of Dr. Carol L. Spence as Board Chair

VANCOUVER, WA, Jul 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
The Board of Directors of Caring Ambassadors Program, a national
nonprofit public charity, has elected Dr. Carol L. Spence as Board Chair.
"We are positively delighted to have Dr. Spence in this vital leadership
role," said Dr. Tina M. St. John, Executive Director and Medical Director
of the Caring Ambassadors Program (CAP). "Carol brings to this role the
ideal constellation of personal and professional experience, commitment
to nonprofit service, and dedication to the CAP mission of information
and support to those with long-term diseases."

Dr. Spence's path to the Caring Ambassadors Program came via her own
health challenge and the subsequent journey wherein she found healing, and
ultimately, cure from a serious case of hepatitis C. Carol's mission has
become wellness through service, a focus aligned with that of the founder
of the Caring Ambassadors Program: belief in the power of people helping
people and the power of personal experience to benefit others. "Serving
as Board Chair of this fine organization epitomizes my own passion and
goals. In this capacity, I will be able to leverage my time and energy by
sharing a mutual devotion of purpose with all of the other members of the
Caring Ambassadors Program. Together we can reach much higher numbers of
individuals in crisis."

Dr. Spence's vision of her work with the Caring Ambassadors Program
includes increasing the avenues through which individuals facing long-term
illnesses can maximize their wellness -- physically, mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually. She intends to creatively build upon and
expand the fundamental arms of the Caring Ambassadors Program strategy:
information, awareness, support, and advocacy. CAP will continue its
commitment to not only those living with long-term diseases, but to their
loved ones who are inextricably part of the wellness/disease continuum.

Carol Spence holds a bachelor's degree in social science, and both a ThD
and a PhD in Integrative Medicine. She has had a long and successful
business career as a stockbroker, banking executive, and a decorated real
estate agent. Carol is also experienced in nonprofit leadership with
several successful tenures under her belt including previous Chair of the
Board of the Community Council for the California Pacific Medical Center
Institute for Health and Healing. She is an ordained minister and has
served as Chaplain at Marin General Hospital. Dr. Spence lives in San
Francisco and Sonoma, California.
