Jack Quinn, senior advisor for public and community relations at Barclay Damon and former US congressman, was interviewed by the Buffalo News for its “Jack Quinn Takes Parkinson’s Fight National on Michael J. Fox Foundation Board” article about Jack’s appointment to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research board in March.
On the board, Jack is among famous actors, C-level leaders, and television hosts. Jack, who publicly revealed his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2019, employs his experience and unique skill set as a former US congressman to speak with legislators and officials in Washington DC about funding Parkinson’s research and making changes to federal legislation.
About his prestigious appointment, Jack said, “This is a good way for me to sort of wind up my public years, hopefully helping people in Buffalo and Western New York and now across the country … I view it as the next chapter … Not necessarily the last chapter.”
