A Turner Syndrome community is born of leadership through the NCSL, National Council of State Leaders program.

Regional access to care and support is integral to the health and well-being of girls and women with Turner Syndrome. In an effort to meet this demand, the National Council of State Leaders has been organized, oriented, and supported by our administrative staff. You can impact people where they live, and we will be right there with you.

The Turner Syndrome Foundation’s National Council of State Leaders are devoted to improving the lives of girls and women affected by Turner Syndrome. This council has evolved in response to the urgent call for leadership. Leadership is sought in all 50 states.
