Spread the Word
Apply for the IUGA Champion Program

Spread the word about IUGA and urogynecology in your part of the world by becoming an IUGA Champion. Champions will help with both recruitment of new members and the retention of our existing members.

The application process for the champions program will be open through August 26, 2013. Once all the applications are received they will be reviewed by a group of people which will include IUGA office staff, a board member and a committee chair. The selection criteria for champions includes demonstrating access to contacts in your country, effective service in other health related organizations/associations and active participation in IUGA.
