We want to acknowledge the contributions of past-president Jacquie Badiou as she has completed her term on the Board of Directors. Jacquie dedicated more than 10 years to advocating for new treatments for patients with HAE in Canada as president and past-president of HAE Canada that has led Canada having four effective prophylaxis treatments and two acute treatments approved and many more in the pipeline. Under her leadership, the organization and the board grew and developed to become recognized internationally as one of the leading HAE patient organizations. She fostered excellent relationships with HAEi which has led to invaluable support and collaboration, particularly in our advocacy efforts. We want to extend a huge thank you to Jacquie for her fierce dedication to HAE Canada and the all the advocacy work she achieved over the years she sat on the Board.
