Ambassador Subcommittee
The ASBMR Ambassadors Subcommittee consists of dynamic leaders who facilitate networking, professional development, and collaboration among ASBMR members in their state, region, or country to strengthen the ASBMR and the bone, mineral, and musculoskeletal research science field on a global level.
Working in partnership with the Membership Engagement Committee, the Ambassadors play an important role increasing local level awareness and engagement in ASBMR programs, facilitating interactions between local members and ASBMR leadership, welcoming new members in their region and identifying/recruiting new ASBMR members.
Have an idea on how ASBMR could better engage bone researchers and clinicians in your area? Share your ideas with one of the ambassadors from your region.
