Help the SSPA achieve its goals and objectives by joining us on the National Council.
We’re calling on passionate community members to join the council to make a difference in the lives of short statured people and their supporters. Being on National council will mean you can collaborate on the work and the activities we do. We are seeking individuals from all perspectives, short statured, parents and supporters. There is no criteria for joining the council, we are eager to seek wide perspectives as well as various skills.
