Kelly Smith

Vice President, Events

Kelly previously worked in special event development at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in both New York and San Diego (2005-2013).

Because ALF had a division structure when Kelly first joined and events were managed locally, Kelly provided strategic event leadership and support to the divisions. Kelly traveled from coast to coast supporting markets with their Liver Life Walks and Flavors events and created our national Make A Difference fundraising events program.

The pandemic brought new challenges and Kelly was up to the task by building a new team and successfully creating, implementing, and managing several virtual Walks and Cuisine for a Cause events.

After launching ALF’s highly successful inaugural 45th Anniversary Legacy Gala, that was held during a break in the pandemic, Kelly was promoted to National Senior Director, Events in December 2021.

Even though the pandemic hadn’t completely left our world in 2022, Kelly led her team in launching nearly a dozen in-person walks and endurance events. ALF’s financial position has been strengthened thanks to the efforts of Kelly and the entire Events team.
