The ASBMR Ambassadors Program consist of dynamic leaders who facilitate networking, professional development and collaboration amongst ASBMR members in their state, region or country in an effort to strengthen the ASBMR and the bone, mineral and musculoskeletal research science field on a global level.
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.
