She has served as the Hospitality Chair, Corresponding Secretary, and Co-Chair of the Brass Ring Luncheon, and will be the Treasurer-Elect in 2024 for The Guild of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation.

Amie Morozs
Amie Morozs is often described as energetic. She is known to friends and family for her need to keep moving. Whether it be her dedication to her business, her countless volunteer hours, hosting events, or advocating for teens, she prefers the days with no moment to spare.
Fourteen years ago, her daughter met a friend in preschool who had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at only eighteen months old. Within a few years, that circle of friends in their lives with type 1 grew to be seven children and a handful of adults. Amie strives to give equal attention to the organizations that have become near and dear to her heart; the Children’s Diabetes Foundation is one of those. She is amazed by the advancements that have been made in type 1 treatment during the 14 short years that she has been connected to this community. She is honored to Co-Chair this year’s Brass Ring Luncheon. It is Amie’s mission to make this the most successful BRL to date.
