Why I volunteer for the AC | I have served on the Upper Limb Advisory Council of Amputee Coalition since its inception in 2009 to 2019. Since 2016, I have served on the Scientific Medical Advisory Committee. I have participated in the Education & Conference (EDCON) committee since 2018 and I have been presenting at the annual meeting for over 15 years. I volunteer for the Amputee Coalition because I feel strongly about those who were born with upper limb difference or those who have sustained upper limb loss and I want to make sure they have access to the best information, resources and support network. |
