Ambassador Program
Announcing the IgA Nephropathy Foundation’s Ambassador Program!
The IgA Nephropathy Foundation Ambassador Program will bring together and train a select group of “expert” and inspired patients and caregivers.
Our IgAN Ambassadors will extend the voice and geographic reach of the Foundation, helping to grow our IgAN family, push for better treatments, and reach patients and caregivers earlier in their journey, empowering them to take charge of their kidneys and overall health.
Ambassadors will rally around four core focus areas:
Peer support
Awareness & Education
Community Outreach & Partnerships
Patient Empowerment & Advocacy
Our Kick-Off
The Ambassador Program will formally launch in late 2022 when our first cadre of “expert” volunteer leaders convene for a one-day kick-off and training. This and subsequent training will equip our Ambassadors with the skills, How-to resources, and template materials to:
- Share their stories to inspire and give hope to others
- Raise awareness of IgA Nephropathy
- Educate and engage others, including nephrology care providers
- Provide peer support and vetted tools and resources
- Empower patients to advocate for themselves and for better treatments
Harnessing the power of the IgA Nephropathy community to engage, inspire, support, and activate patients and caregivers, near and far.
