Becoming a Platinum Ambassador
Platinum Ambassadors are Arthritis Foundation Ambassadors that are highly engaged by building relationships with their legislators on key issues, amplifying their impact by involving their local communities, and sharing their arthritis stories to affect change.
Platinum Ambassadors are awarded based on their reported advocacy activities and join the Program every other year, in alignment with the Congressional calendar. The Program consists of exclusive opportunities to hear from expert speakers, attend events and be recognized for the ambassadors' hard work and dedication.
