Our overall goals are to:

• Facilitate a grassroots network to advocate for individuals with Alpha-1.

• Support the goals of research dedicated to curing Alpha-1 through collaboration with the Alpha-1 Foundation and encouraging the participation of Alphas in research programs.

By offering national leadership and programs, the Association has united the Alpha-1 Community and improved the day-to-day lives of individuals living with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (Alpha-1).
