EASD Honorary Members
EASD is proud of the engagement and dedication of its longstanding members and each year EASD honours distinguished members with lifetime Honorary Membership. Following a call for nominations, the EASD Board agrees on the members to be honoured who will then be ratified by the members of EASD.
By awarding lifetime Honorary Membership, EASD honours merited members for their relevant and substantial personal contributions to our understanding of diabetes and for their advocacy in supporting people with diabetes.
