Want to Do More? Join a Regional Advocacy Council!

Regional Advocacy Councils (RACs) are region-based volunteer groups of Diabetes Advocates representing every segment of the diabetes community—people living with and at risk for diabetes, family members, health care professionals, researchers, and more. RACs convene virtually on a quarterly basis to stay involved and updated on alerts and advocacy engagement opportunities. 

When we need powerful voices, we call on our RAC members in various ways, including inviting them to speak with lawmakers and the media.

Expectations for RAC members:

  • Must be a Diabetes Advocate
  • Attend quarterly virtual RAC meetings
  • Respond to ADA Action Alerts
  • Assist with Diabetes Advocate recruitment at local events (optional)
