The Alliance is a statewide partnership promoting diabetes prevention, education, and care issues. The Alliance's executive committee has a leadership role in accomplishing objectives that complement the goals of the Diabetes Prevention and Control Program and the Diabetes Advisory Council. The executive committee, which is called the Leadership Council, includes the chairs of three standing committees - Community Partnerships, Education, and Data/Information - as well as a liaison to the Diabetes Advisory Council (DAC) and several at-large members.

MembershipThe Alliance has three membership levels, based on degree of participation: Leadership Council members are elected from the Alliance membership in accordance with the Alliance by-laws. Leadership Council members also participate in committee and local-level activities. Committee members are active participants of at least one of the three standing committees. They also participate in local-level activities of the general membership. General membership is comprised of members who are active in their communities in promoting diabetes prevention, education, and care. They work locally to improve the state diabetes health system. Alliance members receive announcements of educational and networking opportunities, such as the annual Educational Forum-General Membership meeting. They may choose to be included in a directory of members to increase networking possibilities and collaboration.
