IPPF Corporate Council
In 2020, the IPPF launched the Corporate Council, a collection of top stake-holders that are committed to facilitating collaboration and information exchange among patients, the IPPF, key opinion leaders, health-related organizations, and industry. We believe that only through an open and cooperative collaboration among all stakeholders will we effectively be able to address issues facing the pemphigus and pemphigoid (P/P) community.
The IPPF Corporate Council focuses on three areas of emphasis: access, advocacy, and awareness. Within these focus areas, the IPPF Corporate Council develops and supports activities and programs that ensure the IPPF fulfills its mission of improving the quality of life for all people affected by P/P through early diagnosis and support.
Membership in the IPPF Corporate Council demonstrates an organization’s leadership and commitment to addressing the challenges facing our patients. Involvement in the Council also provides the IPPF with an extended network of expertise and insight to ensure that we continue to address the unmet needs of all patients.
The Corporate Council provides hope and support by:
- Enhancing awareness, knowledge, and attention of P/P in society and among key audiences
- Organizing the IPPF community to drive progress in advocacy, awareness, research, drug development, and access to care
- Encouraging an industry, academic, and community collaborative investment in, and development of, new/improved treatments and therapies
- Promoting more effective identification, diagnosis, and treatment of P/P to improve patient experience/outcomes
