Boxer & Gerson Partner and Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist Dennis Popalardo was recently appointed to the City of Alameda’s Health Care District Board of Directors by a vote of existing board members in order to fill a vacant position. His term will run through late 2018, at which time he will be eligible to run for re-election by voters living within the district.
Immediately upon his appointment to the five-person board, Popalardo was elected its treasurer and community health liaison. He has a particular interest in community wellness programs that include outreach to schools and economically disadvantaged residents of the district.
Popalardo is a 10-year resident of Alameda who joined Boxer & Gerson in 2005 and became a partner in 2012. His community involvement also includes service on the Board of Directors of Kids’ Chance California, which is part of a nationwide organization dedicated to providing need-based scholarships to the children of workers who have been fatally or seriously injured on the job. Boxer & Gerson served as a founding sponsor of the California branch in 2012.
