Sally Jones Heinz, a native Memphian, is president and CEO of MIFA, a 51-year-old nonprofit organization whose mission is to support the independence of vulnerable seniors and families in crisis through high-impact programs.

“A vital program for seniors faces elimination in a preliminary federal budget — a decision that, if approved by Congress, would leave our most vulnerable elders without advocates during their most critical time of need.”
