Janeen Tuitupou, M.Ed., Secretary

Janeen is President of the Rossi Family Foundation where she oversees all aspects of the foundation’s operations. Previously she held positions in education, corporate training, and nonprofit fund development. Her passion for her work with the Arthritis Research Coalition (ARC) is personal: she was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at age 6 when there weren’t many treatments available. Now 50 years later, 7 joint replacement surgeries and numerous periods of disability later, medication options are running out for getting her disease under control.

Janeen serves as ARC’s Secretary of the Board and is Co-Chair of the Programs Committee. She also serves on the Golf and Run Rudolph Run Committees. She says she has never had a better opportunity to give her money or spend her time in support of breakthroughs in arthritis research and treatments than being involved with ARC.
