From the President’s Desk

100 member organizations!!! What a milestone for GAAPP and our community! Five years ago when I was elected President this goal seemed overly ambitious and yet with your help, today it is a reality——thank you all!

This month’s newsletter is filled with exciting opportunities for you to get involved and amplify the patient voice. From driving awareness for the remainder of World Asthma Day/Month to participating in research. From learning more about the updated GINA 2023 guidelines to registering for GAAPP Academy. Don’t miss out on a single highlight!

 
 

Finally, it is not too late to join us in Germany at the GAAPP scientific meeting and annual general assembly. I hope to see you all there either in person or virtually!

Again, I cannot express my gratitude enough to each of you for the important work you are doing daily to support the patient community. I pray continued blessings over you all!

All my best,
Tonya

World Asthma Day 2023

There is still time to participate in the communication grant for World Asthma Day 2023, Asthma Care Access: The Voice of the Uncared. 

A 200€ grant is offered to help us promote these resources throughout May 2023.

 
 

Survey on Clinical Research (US only)

We are conducting a survey in the US to learn what people who have been affected by airways, allergic and atopic conditions think about clinical research, and we’d love to have your input. By answering these questions, you can help us make clinical trial participation easier for those who would like to take part. We will raffle a 100€ Amazon Gift Card among survey respondents.

If you are a patient or caregiver based in the US and you’d like to participate, access the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AS2023GAAPP

New GAAPP Twitter Account

In early November, our Twitter account was hacked, and suspended it. As a result, GAAPP has created a new account that also matches our handles in all the other social media channels @gaapporg. We request that you follow us there and share with your colleagues and community, so we can continue the engagement with your team and patient community. Follow us!
