Will Nolan

Senior Vice President of Communications & Administration, Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy

For the last eight years, Will has been part of the core executive team responsible for making PPMD the largest, most comprehensive Duchenne muscular dystrophy organization in the world. From spearheading the rollout of PPMD’s digital and social media platforms, to managing their multiplatform year-end campaign, PPMD continues to experience significant growth in online influence, donations, and constituents and is recognized as a leader in the international rare disease community. His strong belief in identifying an organization’s key audiences and ensuring messaging addresses the needs of the community has helped to make PPMD’s digital assets the ‘go-to’ resource for families living with Duchenne. He is an adjunct professor at Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY teaching communications and marketing strategies for nonprofit organizations. Before joining PPMD, Will worked for Logo (part of MTV Networks) assisting the head of the network. He later went on to develop various LGBT media and to produce the nationally syndicated radio show Twist. He is a husband and father in New Jersey and performs a one person show around the country.
