Dr. Loveless came to CfPA in 2019 (then the Hollywood Senior Center) after three years as a Member of the Board of Elders In Action. As COVID was winding down in 2022, he became a CfPA volunteer, and then a Member of the Advisory Council, serving as Secretary on the Executive Committee. He was elected to the CfPA Board in September, 2025, and now serves as Vice Chair.
