ADEA Advisory Groups and Committees are integral to ADEA and vary in specific purpose but generally provide advice and input to ADEA on topical matters. When openings arise on the Committees or Advisory Groups, ADEA will release a request for expressions of interest. If you are interested in joining either an Advisory Group or Committee please keep an eye on our e-newsletter and on DiabetesConnekt.
ADEA members have the opportunity to create and join special interest groups. These groups are established to facilitate and support members to connect with others with the same passions in diabetes care. They also play a role in working with ADEA to identify and develop issues that require further work with policy positions and papers.
If you’d like to establish a special interest group, please download the guidelines (PDF – 0.37MB).
