ADVISE

Throughout the year, Autoimmune Association staff and partners may invite YAAC members to join virtual discussions or focus groups to share a young adult perspective on projects, resources, programs, and communications. These opportunities are expected to happen approximately 4–6 times per year. YAAC members are required to participate in at least one.
