Attendees were selected based on criteria including: demonstrated excellence in providing peer support to women with diabetes; dependability and teamwork; commitment to diverse, inclusive, respectful, supportive groups; and representation of the organization.

“Our annual Leadership Institute, now in its fourth year, has become an integral piece of the training and development of our patient leaders. This year we are pleased to welcome a combination of experienced and novice PODS Leaders, providing them an opportunity to learn from professionals as well as from one another – the true experts in their journey with diabetes. The leadership demonstrated by these women is unmatched, and their passion and dedication to their health – and that of other women – is to be highly recognized. I look forward to welcoming each of them this fall,” said Anna Norton, MS, CEO of DiabetesSisters.

The 2018 DiabetesSisters Leadership Institute will be held September 28-30 in Chicago. Institute faculty include diabetes educator and author Lori Zinman, RD, CDE, and Leyla Mansour-Cole, Esq., of the Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition. Participants will also learn from two panels of their peers, who will share their experience and best practices in leading peer support groups and living with diabetes (type 1 or type 2) for more than two decades.

A DiabetesSisters signature program, the PODS Meetup program started in Raleigh, NC in 2010 and has grown to support monthly meetings in 39 locations throughout the US. The program provides peer support, education, and advocacy to women living with diabetes and prediabetes and serves more than 1,300 women annually.

DiabetesSisters recognizes and appreciates the support of Dexcom, AstraZeneca (pending confirmation), Boehringer Ingelheim, Lilly, Merck, and Novo Nordisk as sponsors of the 2018 Leadership Institute.
