Announcing the IgA Nephropathy Foundation’s Ambassador Program!
Ambassadors
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.
Please download, fill out, and send the application to info@igan.org.
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
Want to make a difference?
Be a defining part of our future and apply to be a Co-Chair or Ambassador today.
We are in search of:
- Two (2) dedicated, forward-thinking volunteers, to help co-lead the program
- Volunteers willing to serve as Ambassadors for our cause
Your stories and our shared connections are at the heart of the Ambassador Program. Anyone affected by IgA Nephropathy – especially patients or parents who care for a child with the condition – with the passion and time to make a difference is encouraged to apply.
Please download, fill out, and send the application to info@igan.org.
Why?
IgA Nephropathy remains poorly understood – even by many clinicians. Patients can face long delays before getting to the right diagnosis and may not know their treatment options or what to expect at different stages. It’s easy to feel alone and isolated. We are set to change this!
Who?
Anyone affected by IgA Nephropathy – especially patients or a parent who cares for a child with the condition – who has the passion and time to make a difference.
When?
We are now accepting applications for both the program Co-Chairs and Ambassadors. For planning purposes, please apply no later than September 18, 2022. We will accept applications on an ongoing basis and provide subsequent training annually.
